Evaluation

For this project I managed to create a script from scratch and make it well detailed so that everyone who was talking part in the filming would get a better understanding on how the characters would look and what lines would be in what scenes, also to go along with this I created a detailed storyboard to help the actors and camera crew know how the scenes would look like and the angles which the camera would be facing.

Unfortunately, during the casting one of the two actors said that they were unable to do it as they had something organised on the day of the initial filming, and a day before I was going to film with the other actress talking on the absent one’s part, the other actor said that they were unable to do it as they had to leave early. Therefore, I was unable to do it on that day and couldn’t book the place any other time as it was going to be the weekend, so I had to arrange to do it during the weekend in a room which wasn’t exactly suited for the video but was all that I could do with as I didn’t have many days left before we had to start editing the shots.  

 During the video there is quite a significant change in the lighting this was due to the fact that it was filmed during mid-afternoon and the sun was starting to set, this led to my camera trying to auto-focus during some of the shots. Unfortunately, I broke the 180-degree rule when the character walks through the door which was an error I made when filming the shot. In the video there wasn’t as many different types of shots as I would have liked as there was in the end only 2 of us who were doing the filming and acting and took it in turns filming one another making it impossible to do any two shots as there wouldn’t be anyone operating the camera.

Overall, this video didn’t go how I wanted it to as the date which I originally planned to film had to be cancelled and in the end I could only do with what I had with the  little amount of people.
