G321: Feedback on Initial Filming

16/03/2011

Today we recieved feedback about our initial shots from our teacher. We recieved mainly positive feedback about our shots below:

• Good Tracking shots, steady camerawork
• Good lighting throughout
• Nice framing of the over the shoulder shot
• Generally good camerawork

The negative feedback we recieved was:

• Not so good framing of the close up shot of our main charactrers eyes
• Writing on the computer screen is quite difficult to read

To resolve these problems, we have decided to re-film the close up of the computer screen with the writing and we have decided that we can crop the close up of the characters eyes when editing.

Re-filming

We re-filmed the close up of the computer screen on the same day we recieved the feedback so that we could proceed with editing as planned. To do this, we used a dolly, a tri-pod and a camera and we managed to complete this re-filming within 30 minutes. We filmed a few different variations of this shot so that we had multiple ones to choose from when editing to give the best effect. We worked equally as efficient and managed our time just as well as our first day of filming and we are now ready to continue with our editing.
