NARRATIVE SHOOT EVALUATION

The shoot for the narrative section of our video went very well, again we were lucky with the weather and natural lighting. All our performers acted very well and we found great western mise-en-scene which looks authentic and believable. I mostly pleased with what we shot on the beach, we found some great locations which resembled western sand dunes and cliffs, and filming at near sunset added a great deal of western authenticity to our shots. We managed to get all the shots we needed from the shot list, and a few extra stock footage which can be used to fill spaces. A few of our shots were very noticeably hand-held, but this can hopefully be fixed in post production, with image stabilization.

PRODUCTION MEETING AGENDA

This is our production meeting agenda for our narrative shoot. We arranged this so that our shoot would play out smoothly on the day, and no equipment would be forgotten. We made a list of props, costumes and equipment, and assigned each one to whoever could supply it, that way instead of one person supplying everything, it was a team effort. We thought hard about our performers costume design, and decided on cowboy/western style waistcoats, shirts, trousers and boots. We also had to carefully decide on our locations as our narrative would be set back in the wild west. The document also includes a basic shot list.
