From the group point of view and teach comments, we realised that our test shoot was not as successful as we hoped. There were a few of problems that we faced:
- Filming did not begin at the planned time - we planned to begin shooting at 9:30 which was decided based on a rough estimate on how long it would take for us to dress the set . However due to travel issues faced by the group, we were not able to start filming until about an hour after the scheduled start time. This had big consequences; as the day went on, we gradually ran out of natural daylight and so in order to continue filming we had to use artificial light for some of the later shots, which created a big continuity error.
- A group member was not able to attend - One member of our group was not able to attend as they were on a German exchange trip. This was an unavoidable situation and as we knew of this absence prior to the shoot, we were able to work around, however it would have been beneficial to have the entire group there to aid the production of the test shoot
- Location - Once filming we quickly realised that the room did not work as well as we thought it would. There were issues with space, which impacted our filming capabilities as we were not able to effectively perform some of the camera movements we planned.
Additionally, there were a few issues with props. We planned to use certain props such as a moodboard and gloves, however a small spout of a lack in organisation resulted in us not being able to include some props, as they were either forgotten (gloves) or not prepared (the mood board).
Following the test shoot, we decided that we needed to change some things for the upcoming main shoot. We decided to change locations and create a props list in the hope that this would remove any issues with space and keep us organised with props, to prevent a repeat of the flaws in the test shoot.
