Evaluation (So Far)



What's Gone Well...

The filming itself has gone fairly quickly, at least the filming that we've done (the opening shots of the sky and the dragging feet).

The posts so far have been fairly straight forward and teamwork hasn't been a problem at all, what with us both being good friends who agree on many of the decisions made, even if we do go back on them from time to time.

The fairly low amount of people needed for the filming has also aided in making things a bit more efficient, and the simplicity of some of the shots have made it so that not many takes were needed before getting the intended effect.

...And What Hasn't

There were some technical problems when first filming, mainly to do with Dale not being able to figure out what button does what, but Tom came to the rescue so that worked itself out pretty quickly.

The opening shot was originally of a field, but we ended up changing that after the only field that we had access to was pointed out by a couple of teachers to look fairly like a school playing field, which wasn't the effect we were going for at all. We changed it to a panning shot of the sky.

The storyboard went through god knows how many iterations before we landed on a semi-perfect one, but we also have to adjust one of the shots after it was pointed out to be fairly sexual - a totally unintended effect.
