I’m going to cry my eyes out, but its fine I’m fine everything’s fine.
Struggles, so many struggles…
Shooting was awful, but it wasn’t all our fault, but still it was so bad. We were given half an hour to shoot a 30 second scene, which doesn’t leave nearly enough time to actually do it, but we did our best. It was just… awful. We didn’t know our location well enough, we didn’t prepare a set dialogue, our shots were off, our continuity is so… I could go on but with out time constraint it was so awful I can’t even begin to describe how upsetting it is. Ugh.
We also struggled to establish our shot-by-shot for our film since we, again, weren’t familiar with our location. We had a idea of what we wanted, but it wasn’t a clear cut idea. Plus, being in a rush took away from our focus on what are shots were going to be used and how they would be implemented. With a better idea of our location and with waaaaay more time, we will have a much better outcome than what we have right now.
Accomplishments
We did, however, have plenty of time to shoot our evidence scene very well and had an amazing outcome. We spent an hour and a half setting up, a half an hour for snacks, and the rest of the time for shooting. We tried a few different shots such as a long take, taking closeups and tracking shots and having them fade into one another, and different variations of those different shots. Having the ability to test different shots allows us to see what different angles and shots gives us the best ideal vision that we have for our sequence.
We also got a lot of planning done and gaining a much better understanding of how our camera works. Our better understanding of new technology is bettering us to become good at shooting out shots quickly and efficiently. Of course, the shots would have to be better and to our liking, but it’ll give us a better chance of shooting well when we are familiar with our technology.
Goals
For our title sequence to not suck :>
Okay, jokes aside, I do want a better outcome and to be able to maybe find a better location for the mise en scene we want. It would also give us a little more wiggle room for what we can accomplish.
