Production Reflection

What were the main strengths of your production phase?

The strength that we had during the production phase was the technical skills as we as a team had our equipment when we need it at the right time. What this had done is that it allowed us to film as many takes as possible without wasing anytime. the equmnetss was placed in the right place at the right time, you will see in the contnet that the sound recodes are placed correctly by the team , as techncally we had a 

Another strength that we had in the production was that all of crew member that was in charge of sound, camera, script (Directing) showed up on time at 7:00am, as we were intended todo.Which had really helped us on time managment and to get the right look aesthtics of the shoot.We were able to shoot 80% of the film in one day, i am proud of this due to the lake of light and the amount of shots we had on our shooting script.

What challenges did you face during the production phase and how did you overcome them?

The challenges that we faced during the production phase was that we did not have enough sunlight time when filming, as we had started the production at 7:00 am but did not have enough time of day to complete all the shots.How we had overcome this problem is that we had to spread out the filming on to do day to get the fullest of the daylight, the effect that this created is that it allowed us to release pressure from the crew and cast of not cramming all of the filming in one day.

What other challenges that we faced during the production phase is that the microphone that we were using died out, because the batteries had run out, we had realised this after we had record the performance that the microphone had died, which had impacted us to a really going performance that we had filmed on screen. how we had resolve this is that we had replaced the batteries in the microphone, what effect this created is this had cost us some time because we did not have the correct ones and had to go to the local shop.

What changes did you make from your planning? Why did you change these things?What was the impact of the changes?

The changes that we had made to the scrip when filming is that the montage section was location was changed from the Park bench to the living room at Ben house. why we had changed the location is that it would make the scene look more believable this has also allowed the to indicate more of the genera of the film of British realism. What was the impact of this change is that we had control of the environment that we filmed at, at this allowed the use to create a locations that match the characters conditions and the genre.
We had made a change of the duration we were going to film on set of the production, as we had released that there was not enough sunlight left in the day and also that one of our actors did not show up when we had needed them, what we had is add another day to the production, to allow us to spread out our film schedule. what effect that this had is this made it easier for the actors and the crew because it allowed them to spread there time out instead of filming all in one day which could have drained the actors and effect there performance.

What improvements would you make to your production Process if you were to do it again?

What improvement that I would have made if i had done the production again is that I would have, picked out more reliable actors that would show up on time, and that would be committed to working with us on the project. As one of the actors that we has waited to film an outdoor scene did not show up, why this was an effect to our production is that we had limited amount of sunlight left to film outside.

Another improvement that i would include when doing the production process again is that i would have filming the indoor location with more light. as we can see this in the encounter part of the filming we had done, as the lighting in the door was to dark, which lost out of detail in the shot, the effect of this is that it had made the  footage look non-professional, due to the grains shown in the shot from the low light condition.
