Filming Day - Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths:
- We were well prepared due to Max's detailed storyboard and shot list
- We were able to communicate well with each other in the group on the day
- There was loads of footage and more recorded
- It was beneficial that someone outside of the group was dedicated to filming the behind the scenes footage as it allowed all group members to appear in the footage so we are all seen being productive.
- Various shot lengths and angles were filmed
- When there was a spare camera I was able to try and be creative with some shots and experiment a little.

Weaknesses:
- Communicating that we wanted the band to be quiet during the set up of shots would have been better.
- More time was required to do the photoshoot - although not our fault if we worked more efficiently earlier in the shoot we could have avoided this.
- Some shots took a lot longer to get, one in particular was the close up of the lead singer, she kept missing her start of the song which made her out of sync slightly (given the song was difficult to mime to as there is no instrumental part at the beginning).

The difference between this shoot and previous productions such as AS and preliminary tasks is the fact that I have learned to be well prepared and back up ideas with research, whereas throughout AS it was evident there is significantly less research than I did this year, meaning I can justify my chosen representation methods and things which conform to conventions. I have also improved my team work skills and have had help and given help and suggestions in what to include in the shot lists, discussion of what to include in the video etc. I feel the shoot went well despite not being 100% into it and passionate about the band, appearance, song and genre.
