On the day of the shoot we ran into a number of problems throughout the process. Although it all came together in the end these issues definately set us back, lowering the standard of our production.
These problems were as follows:
Incomplete shot list - Completely my fault as the director, I was unprepared in regards to the shot schedule and shot list. As I struggled making my mind up on my individual ideas, I wrongly assumed that the group would be able to discuss and decide as to what shots are best on the day, admittingly blagging it. I realise I shouldve approached the team and asked for help, or to swap roles.
Obviously the situation quickly turned into a problem as each shot was being discussed HEAVILY before being taken, which meant each shot took about 25-30mins to get right, even longer in certain aspects.
Loss of Control at times - I have learnt that I shouldve took control in certain situations as well. This also relates to the above point as moments were stressful, resulting in crew members not knowing what to do while others were in needless debate. Again I'll accept responsibility due to the shot list being incomplete.
Sound flawed - A pure mishap, the boom wasn't configured properly. This meant the sound that was recorded was from the panasonic mic. This might be the reason the female actress Ellie was quiet.
We did however manage to capture some really good shots, especially for the title sequence. Tom P did a fantastic job to help create some of the shots that wernt planned also... While Ben, Tash & Leigh covered up the flaws really well within the final edit.
Ill upload the final edit soon!
