P4: Create the production materials in line with the plan
Footage recorded and sorted
Behind the Scenes
As seen in the photos, I used my phone to do the filming and I also used a phone tripod to not only help hold the phone but also to film more still shots for instance when I was filming the homework advert on the table.
The filming went well. We filmed in the morning as to get it out of the way and allowed me to format and order the footage to prepare for editing. The actors did what they were supposed to and also offered advice for what could happen in the adverts as last minute ideas. Their help on this was greatly appreciated. The film quality also turned out brilliantly despite it being filmed on a phone and not a proper film camera. The things that didn't go so well was because of my lack of preparation for instance I hadn't prepared the kitchen properly and my filming order was wrong for Advert 3 so this was particularly annoying but we overcame it and the production was a success.
If I were to do this differently, I would have probably had a proper meeting with my actors to discuss what would be happening. I did do this the night before shooting but I didn't go into as much detail as I think I should have done. I also think having it at night wasn't the best idea because we were all a bit tired at that point. I would also try to plan things better and not be so ignorant because I thought that this was a simple and easy shoot and I underestimated how much I would have to do in preparation. With that being said, the production was a success and the adverts can now be edited.
