Despite some difficulty getting the exact shots we needed, filming went smoothly in terms of getting the shots we needed and using our limited locations as best we could. We managed to find places that mostly matched the original shots, and I feel overall that filming went very well.
Was your storyboard accurate?
Our storyboard (drawn by Charlotte) matched the shots we needed and gave a basic outline of the angles and distances we needed to think about while filming and matching up our own footage with the original.
What were the strengths and weaknesses in the group?
The main strength of our group was that we worked well together with no arguments, and effectively communicated our ideas and thoughts to each other. We were all punctual and came prepared with the props and costumes we needed. Our weakness was that we helped another group with their filming, so we didn't have a lot of time to film our own and had to quickly find a location for our last shot, meaning the production was slightly rushed.
Did you get all the footage you needed?
Despite leaving some of it to the last minute, yes, we got all the footage we needed. However, some clips were shorter than they should have been, so we had to slow them down in editing in order to get the correct amount of screen time.
What technical skills either camera or on premiere did you learn? How does it compare to the original?
In terms of camera skills, we had to incorporate zoom-in shots and tracking. While editing on Premiere, I learnt how to apply effects onto footage, how to slow footage down, add in transitions and increase/decrease the footage's brightness.
Although some shots are slightly different to the original, overall I believe our version was a good enough match for people to clearly recognise the aim of our production (which was to recreate the Juno film opening).
What went well- what I learnt- what I will take with me into the next production.
Overall, the entire production went well and gave me my first idea of what its like working in a group while filming. Additionally, it enabled me to further my editing skills and experiment with different camera angles and techniques.
A good effort with this Lucy!
