Our time management on this trip was good considering we used 3 different locations that were a considerable walk between them. We got enough footage to use a high-ish cutting rate, with each shot being relatively diverse. We only planned our work on the bus, so obviously for our final production we will have a lot more time to plan extensively all our shots, as with the Brighton trip we sort of had to make it up as we went along. There is definitely room for improvement in this aspect but it was no way a disaster.
Filming/Camera Work
Our Filming was ok on this occasion but we want our camera work to be much more professional in our final piece, we can do this by using a more diverse range of angles, framing and pans. The high cutting rate sort of hides the poorer shots, so it does not look as bad, for example if there was a shaky pan, we just made it shorter so it looked smooth. We can correct this in our final piece by taking shots several times so we can use the best one and try not to rush shots. We managed to use all the shots requested of us, including some others such as a time lapse establishing shot. I think the 360 degree pan might be a possible shot to use in our final piece
Conclusion
Overall I believe that the Brighton trip was very useful to us to highlight the necessities of diverse camera work which will help our final production look as professional as possible, and the importance of filming shots more than once and to experiment with different angles and pans when we are doing it, this will make the editing stage easier as we can just pick the best shot
Well done Christy, useful comments
