I really enjoyed this project. However, we did encounter one major problem which put the filming process to a sudden holt. Things were going ok, we filmed our scene, included all the requirements and we thought everything was fine. It wasn't until we watched our scene on the computer that we realised that there was no sound. Next time, we will definitely ensure that the camera has sound and that we check it properly. We figured that we hadn't checked the camera before using it. This was a really big problem. We had to organise, in our extra time, some time to re-film our whole scene.
After our small mishap, things soon got back on track.
For the exercise, there were a few requirements. We met all of them:
Match on Action-00:16 minutes
Over the Shoulder shot-00:20 minutes onwards
180 rule-our 180 line went through the two characters and we always stayed on the left.
I feel that our video looks good, however there is a slight problem starting from 00:18.
From an audiences perspective, it looks like the camera is going to pan across with the actor, however half way through the panning, we cut quite suddenly to an over the shoulder shot. When filming, it seemed like a good idea, but watching it back, it looks odd.
If we were to film this again, i think we would be more aware of the sound. Because there was a constant drilling near where we were filming, which therefore cause inconsistency in the sound. Also, to achieve a more professional feel to it, at the end we think it would have been better to use the actual soundtrack of Shania Twain's "Man, I Feel Like A Woman" instead of Alex's voice. We couldn't do this however because it is copywrited.
