Before starting our actual short film we started with Preliminary Filming which gave us an idea of what we will need to do for our short film.
After looking back over our preliminary filming we have noticed some parts we need to improve on for example our continuity editing wasn't the best as at some parts in the video you might notice the actor jumping back from where he actually got too, this can be fixed with better filming or even editing and cutting at the right time. We noticed at the beginning of the film that the lighting was not great as the main source of light was from behind the actor which gave him a silhouette effect which didn't look good and didn't fit the type of shot we were going for and other than that light the film was dark which made the actor look out of focus. Another problem we had with this filming was the top plate of our tripod wasn't fitted properly so the first few shots were wonky and we didn't notice this until we got into editing.
The main thing we have gained from doing the preliminary filming (and editing) is that we learnt that the filming isn't just point and shoot you need to carefully think out the location you are shooting in and check for noise and light. Another important step in getting good shots is that all you equipment is set up correctly.
