PRELIM - Evaluation Of Filming

After we had planned what we were going to film and looked at the different shots we started to film our prelim. During filming we made sure to remember things such as the rule of thirds as we noticed that we forgot to apply these in the screen shots that we had taken the previous lesson.

Whilst filming we made sure that we were constantly looking back at our pictures we took so that they made sense and kept to our original plan. Also we were told by our teachers that we must include a match cut and reverse shot.

We decided to film our prelim using the figrig instead of a tripod as there were many tracking scenes in our prelim and the tripod is more used for still filming. Whilst filming we found that we often had to film parts of our prelim more than once as certain shots were hard to film such as over the shoulder shots due to the space in the room. 

If we were to film this again it would probably be best to change location as this particular corridor didn't have the best lighting so when we first filmed Layla walking into the room the lighting was very dim and she was hard to see.

Also when filming we spent a lot of time trying to avoid other people as there were classes nearby who we're quite loud as they were having discussions so this meant that we sometimes had to film a scene again due to loud background noise.
