- Sound- for me sound was one of the main areas we messed up on. Our film ended up sounding and looking ridiculous mainly because of our choice of music. We had soft emotive music playing throughout the film and it ended looking like a music video with a terrible terrible soundtrack.
- Our diegetic sound was ok, with an effective explosion at the end and perfectly audible dilogue not effected by wind. From this i've learnt that keeping the music toned down, and not trying to do so much with it is very important to making the film not only sound good but look good as well.
- Camera - I think the most important thing i learnt reagarding cameras is to always set the white balance before filming. Some scenes in our film were very high contrast and looked a bit odd, making the continuity suffer as a result.
- We definatly should of used our tripod for more shots as well. A lot of our shots were shakey because we didn't use the tripod enough. When makking my next film i'll definatly be using the tripod more, except in shots where I want it to be shakey for realsim, POV shots, etc.
- There was one shot we filmed where one of our group memebers could be seen in the refection of a glass board. This is of course was a mistake but is completely amateurish and very unprofessional. Now that I am in my A2 I have no excuse to make mistakes like this and I will make sure while watching the rushes on the day of filming that errors like this do not occour.
In conclusion there are aspects of filming and editing that we as a group need to focus on in order to not make the same mistakes that my group did last time. I am confident that we can all look at the individual mistakes we made in our respective groups last year and work together to make an awesome film
