Final Thoughts
I was very happy and impressed with our footage. During the filming process I think we could have handled our time and process much better, this was due to stopping takes after one line of dialogue was said instead of letting the scene progress which I felt made the actors not fully embrace their scenes.
However I think in the final edit no one could tell that was how we shot the film. The lighting as well was extremely well done and I am very impressed with how it came out in the final edit when it was given its final colour correction.
If given the chance to change parts I would change only how we handled shooting as I felt that by stopping and starting after each line of dialogue it caused us to waste time and not fully engage with the story at play
Overall I am extremely happy with the outcome of the film and only think that the main issue that needed change was mainly a directorial choice that did not affect the final edit due to closely cutting shots together
Setting Up Equipment
For our shoot we used one DSLR Camera attached to a tripod. This was so we could switch between static shots between the characters of Tom and Freddy using the tripod and then have more frantic moving shots whenever Charles is in frame which were then handheld.
For lighting we used one studio light which was implemented to be part of the scene's setting. This would help show the audience that the location setting was an abandoned room which is why Tom needed his own portable light
Following Script and Story Boards
When it came to following the script and story board our Cinematographer Keiran made sure to plot out the different shots and also factor in lighting for how the location would be affected.
Before each shoot we made sure to consult our script to help not only with lines but also character blocking and how certain characters react.
Our actors stuck very closely to our script with only the most minor of line alterations. The only line that was changed during filming was the line "there's plenty more fish in the scene" as we agreed tonally that the line didn't work for the film
Following Safe Working Practices
During production I was given the role of actor and had to play the character "Charles". This consisted of learning my lines and performing them several times for separate takes and shots
I had to follow the directors choices and make sure I knew my character's motivations and personality.
I would follow blocking and positioning given out by the director and cinematographer to make sure I was in frame and in the right location for sake of continuity
