Evaluation of digipak shoot and design process

It is now time to reflect on our final media shoot where we collected images for our CD digital packet.

What went well?

• We had a large amount of free time before our shoot was scheduled with all the performers which gave us ample time to set up camera equipment and move the motorcycle to the filming location so we could maximize shooting time.
• All the correct mise-en-scene was brought on the day which meant our actors looked desirable and reflected the Ska genre.
• We were able to get a plateau of different shots, angles and distances for all for panels of our digipak meaning we will not need a second shoot.
• We used multiple different cameras which meant plenty of shots in a short amount of time making us work as a effective efficient team.

What went wrong?

• One of our performers was severely late to the shoot which meant we had to delay taking the front cover photo for almost 45 minutes meaning we had to rush those shots quickly before we ran out of time.
• One of our camera batteries was running low which meant we had to be conservative with how many shots we took on that particular camera.
• The motorcycle was extremely heavy and took a few people a short while to move it around school premises and position it precisely where we wanted it which wasted some shooting time.
• We found it difficult to get some close ups on elements of the motorcycle which reduced our variety of choice for our inside right cover of the digipak.
