Production Reflection

What were the main strengths of your production phase?

The main strengths of our production was how we all equally shared the responsibility to get things done and to a high standard. We showed great teamwork to come and film during some unsociable hours. We communicated well which enabled us to get our pre-production done quicker, giving us more time for production. Another strength that we showed through production was the ability at a good quick pace, whilst we didn't use many locations we did need various actors in various scenes, so we needed to be quick and organised to film certain scenes at certain times.

What challenges did you face during the production phase and how did you overcome them ?

The main challenge that we faced was simply to get all the actors to come at certain times, we wanted to really make sure every actor really suited the part. As such the people that we did cast were more scattered, so it did become a challenge to get everyone to help out at certain times. We managed to overcome this small problem by being really organised during our production days, thus allowing ot get all of our filming done on time.

What changes did you make from your planning? Why did you change these things? What was the impact of these changes?

From our pre-production planning we had originally stated we was going to use Seven kings park as one of our locations, we also stated that we would Iris as an actor but due to some difficulties we had to cast someone else more last minute, We lastly changed some of the actions that was on the shooting script, originally we was going to have our main character dancing as part of the montage, however after some deliberation we decided to change it to eating an egg. We changed the location because of some logistical reasons, it was also quieter to film at whilst still offering the same setting and atmosphere that the previous location would. We further changed the action in the montage because we felt that it wouldn't flow as well as we had hoped for. The changes that we have made didn't necessarily impact us greatly, we was still able to film everything how we wanted and even some of the changes actually made it easier for us to film the scenes. 




What improvements would you make to your production process if you were to do it again?

If we were to do it again i would have liked to film certain scenes multiple ways because i feel during post-production it would have been better t have more choice. I felt that some of our scenes were more limited because we only filmed some things once and only in a certain style.
