-Due to time constraints and the fact I had performed a location recce the day previous, I took a leading role with filming. This was because I had already previsualised the shots, enabling optimum efficiency.
-Lastly, I encouraged creative decision making, despite time constraints. One example is, filming the running shots, I asked if anyone had any suggestions for a more interesting shot size. Ben suggested a low-angle close up, which we performed, and have put into the video, as it looked great.
Successes
-Unlike our previous shoot, where weather inhibited the proficiency of filming, there were perfect weather conditions for our shoot on the 24th. Slight sunlight shining through the trees ensured good lighting, and lack of rain meant shots were not blurry or difficult to perform.
-Because of this we filmed from a range of angles and shot sizes, definitely achieving camera excellence. This was particularly evident in the use of the steady-cam during running shots.
-Another example of technically excellent shots were when we placed the camera on the floor to achieve a worms eye shot. Utilising pull focus in conjoinment with this was particularly effective.
-The shoot also went very well in terms of editing. The crucial shot - first part of the jump into the swimming pool, was a shot which much precision was necessary. Using a screenshot of the jumping in the pool shot, we managed to achieve the same composition and framing which allowed a proficient action match to occur. Furthermore, the steady nature of camera movement due to the steady-cam enabled proficiency for intercutting during the running scene from varying camera distances.
Failures
-Again, time was the primary limiting factor. This meant that some shots could have been perfected, such as very slight camera shake. However, the negative effect this brought has been neutralised through intercutting, allowing the weak parts of the shots to be cut out.
