Construction Post 3: Reflections on our Main Shoot Session

Our Priorities for the shoot:

• Film all of our shots in our new and full costume adding in any new shots
• Keep continuity by not breaking the 30 and 180 degree rules
• Ensure consistent framing

We filmed our real footage on Saturday 28th February as seen by our clapperboard.

We all got hands on with the camera but due to the fact that I starred in every shot, I mainly helped in setting up the camera.

What went well

• We managed to record every shot
• We were fairly happy with the quality of our shots
• We worked well as a team

What could have been improved

• It was a very windy day and you could hear this on the outside shots
• Guy is wearing Calvin Klein pants in one of the scenes and we felt this didn't fit the character

 In general, we feel that our main shoot was quite successful as we managed to record every shot and get a large amount of usable shots, however, we feel that we will need a back-up shoot in order to iron out the issues with the Calvin Klein pants and also due to the fact that the weather was poor and we can hope for better.
