Filming our Media Project.

For the most part, filming our media film was fairly easy, as we got all of the required shots which were needed, and all of the timing was correct.
However, when filming certain shots we noticed errors in them. This meant that we had to reshoot certain scenes, which then in turn, made the lightning inconsistent.
Another issue that we encountered when filming is that in some shots shadows are to be seen over what we are filming. This was unnoticable on the camera display, yet is shown clearly when uploaded onto the computer to edit.

When we reshoot our film I will ensure that we utalise all of the unused space, and consider more carefully as to the mise-en-scene and set design of each shot.
Also, next time will we use a tripod when filming. Although that we wanted to use a shaky camera to convey distortion, this effect was over-used, so we need to make sure that we make the camera more steady whilst filming.

Things that went well whilst filming was how, in some of the shots, we used lighting to create shadows. The shadows convey a mysterious, and perhaps vulnerable side of Laverick.
The location we chose to film in was extremely effective, as it creates an ominous atmosphere. We ensured that in alot of the shots that the background of the workshop are hidden, giving a mysterious element to the location. Cinematography was good, as we used a mix of different shots to convey meaning. Props were implemented well, we used a mixture of saws, knives, blood and more which shows the violent side of Laverick's personality. We will be sure to keep all of the elements that went well when we re-shoot our film.
