FC: Reflection on Brighton shoot.

On Wednesday the 25th of November me, Ollie, Brad and Luca travelled to Brighton in Brads car. I got up at 6am because I'm committed and had to get a train to High brooms to get picked up. We were prepared in that we knew what shots we needed, we were fairly short for time so we were working very quickly, this meant organisation was key. Furthermore we made use of the different locations available around Brighton, for example we got shots in the car park we parked in because the lighting was ideal. The first thing we shot was the dancing scenes in front of the graffiti walls. this could of taken a very long time but the dancing was actually decent and not to many errors were made so this process was very easy.

My role was to film, I enjoyed this because it meant I didn't have to dance. most of the shots we collected on Wednesday were filmed by myself because the other 3 were all acting. I also had to wear 3 coats around for like an hour to ensure continuity was preserved.

The shot list was very useful because it meant we didn't have to waste time debating over what shot we would get next. The fact that we were pushed for time meant that the shot list was crucial, overall I would say the shot list was well useful.

Our best shots were easily the ones which featured Brad, Ollie and Luca dancing. These could of potentially looked really bad but the dancing was at a high level of synchronisation so the shots came out looking wavey.

We didn't really encounter any problems, one might argue that the members of the public being in shot was problematic however there wasn't really any thing that went wrong so filming went quite smoothly.
