Production

For the production and filming of our video I think that I need to improve on the shots used and the stillness of the camera as I think that at times it was not very good and that impacted on the overall quality of the film. However, I think that a skill that I aquired was the ability to work in a small time limit as it helped me to become more concentrated and focussed on the project. I think that another aspect that I aquired a skill on was the adapting to the weather as when we were filming it was quite windy and that affected the filming however, we adjusted it to be a part of the film and didn’t let it look like the wind was bothering us when it came to producing the film.
Many have commented on the way that my group handled the production element as we took it seriously, yet we had a laugh whilst doing so. I feel that we took the task seriously and that enabled us to produce a decent preliminary video. We filmed a 6 second section in a sweet shop within Lutterworth. We did this by taking pictures every 0.2 of a second to create a slightly jolted effect with the image as it is a feature which we have all noticed in several music videos and we felt that it would work within ours. We didn't need to take many shots several times as we were all focussed to just get on with filming as we wanted to make sure that we finished it all in a day. However, we made sure that everything was done properly and nothing was rushed.
