Our locations that we used for filming were original and added an element of uniqueness to our film. The churchyard aids in adding context to the story. Another good thing about our prelim task is that we included a storyboard, a shooting schedule and a production diary. This enabled us to keep on top of all of the shots we needed to still do, and reflect on how our group was progressing.
The time that we had to film was rather limited, as the planning stage took up most of the time we had. Another issue we had was continuity. One scene where we have two shots that merge together to form a seamless seaquence did not exactly line up and match, therefore creating a slight jump in the final edit of the footage, ruining continuity.
Who did you work with and how did you manage the task between you?
I worked with Sam Hooper and Katie Dunning. We split the tasks up between us, where I did the shooting schedule and the filming, Katie did the production diary and storyboard and Sam did the script and was the main actor. We all had an input on the editing, with me doing the cuts and the others giving me advice and suggestions.
How did you plan your sequence? What processes did you use?
We planned our sequence by using a number of shooting schedules and a storyboard. This was so that we could properly organise every single shot and agree on what props we would need for each shooting day.
What factors did you take into account when planning, shooting and editing?
We took into account the time of day, the weather and also how busy our locations would be when we were filming. Editing would have to take place on a specific computer, so we had to make sure that that computer was free when we wanted to use it.
What did others say about your production?
Other classmates said that our shots were varied and high quality, but they did mention how the camera shook slightly in some scenes, which does draw your attention away from the actual story.
What have you learnt from completing this task?
I have learnt that time management is very hard. Allowing certain time slots for specific tasks is quite stressful as you then have only that time to complete it.
