GROUP Reflection on Shoot 2

In our second shoot, we set out to film a number of shots in the space of two hours during our double media lesson. This was on the 15th of January.

Storyboard
The shots we filmed in this session were from various parts of the storyboard, but all were inclusive of only Dan in shot. Most of these were in the first half of the storyboard. We re-shot some of the ones we had previously just to see if there was any improvement we could produce.
We also recorded some sounds.



What went well
The shots that were best were the ones where we strengthened the story, through developing Dan's character. There was not one specific shot that was best.



Challenges
We were very lucky with the weather, it was almost identical to the weather present on the first shoot. This meant that the natural lighting of the location was pretty much spot-on. Despite this, there is a slight indication in the difference in conditions on the camera unfortunately.
Locating places to shoot was difficult. We knew the forest looks similar throughout but we needed to make sure we didn't film some shots in exactly the same place as others. This certainly drained time for us.
