On our first day of filming we were getting used the evironment where we were filming we also started to think about which shots we were going to use for each part. To create these shots we had to do various takes of the same scene to see which angle the shot looked the best from. We had the appropriate equipment which consisted of a HD video camera as well as a tripod so everything would be steady when watched back. All of our cast were also prepared with their costumes and knowing their lines.
However on our first day of filming we had faced a problem which was due to the season. At this time of year it starts to get darker quicker which means we would have to work faster as our film is set mainly during daylight. Therefore if the audience were to see a dark background outside in the first scene and broad daylight in the next it wouldn't make any sense to the audience.
From this we had learned that due to the time of year which we are in at the moment will mean that we will have to work fast or the day will not be very productive as we won't be able to film as much as we wanted to, if it was summer we would have more time as there is a longer period of daylight.
Another problem which we had realised once watching the takes back was there wasn't enough lighting resulting in the the takes look dark and not as professional as it could look if the lighting was better. By the time we had realised that the lighting wasn't very good it had gotten quite dark outside meaning that we had to wait until the next day until we could film again.
Due to the problem we had next time we thought that we could use other objects around to increase the lighting this could consist of lamps, candles, phones or even the television screen. This would result in our piece having a more professional look when finished as everything will look more clear when watched back.
