Shooting Day Evaluation

My location for my thriller was the Guernsey Priaulx library. The library had 3 floors, the third floor looked run down and old fashioned and this was where I filmed my thriller. The room I used was filled with old books and files, this looked great for the back ground and added a nice element onto our mise-en-scene.

I am going to asses some of the high and low points of the day and also give myself some targets to focus on in future filming.

High points of the day:

  • We filmed a lot of well thought out good clips.
  • We had to use our initiative and think of the best shots to take.
  • It was a good task to improve my teamwork skills.
  • Our mise-en-scene looked good on set.
  • The shooting went smoothly.

Low points of the day:

  • The cameras battery was low meaning some shots had to be rushed.
  • The lighting wasn’t the best.
  • We were limited of space because of other groups in the location.

Targets for future filming:

  • Make sure the camera is charged up full.
  • Use auto focus to make sure the shots are all in focus.
  • Bring extra lighting equipment to make better lighting.

 

Here are some pictures we have taken when we were out shooting.

I think these shots illustrate:

  • Good framing within the door.
  • Bright interesting colours.
  • Intriguing mise-en-scene.
  • Clear in focus shots.
