Unit 3: Production Set-Up reflection

Production Set-Up reflection 

What did you do each day of production?

On the first day of production, we had decided to film the scene where the protagonist was kidnapped and stuck to a chair. So in order for this, we had to head to school and film within the corridors. Since the school wasn't too far from our houses, we got to film everything we wanted to on the day. We then set the camera and the tripod and ensured it was stable and in the correct position for the shot we wanted to film. As we approached the classroom that we had to film in, we closed the doors moved the equipment and set up the camera. We left the lights only for the  picture below. We did not disturb anyone as it was safe and we asked for permission beforehand. The only disadvantage is that the lighting was not close to perfect as the lights did not turn off. So we had to work with this, since it made it look more realistic. After setting everything we filmed the scene where the protagonist woke up and began to search for the phone that had went off. In order to film all of this, it took us around an 1 hour to 2 hours to film. Using this time we got all the shots we wanted and the different angles. 

What went well filming as a group?

As a result, we were able to create a thorough plan for each week before it started, which demonstrates that we set deadlines every time we got together, depending on the tasks that needed to be completed primarily the next day. We also set deadlines every time we got together, demonstrating that we set deadlines every time we got together, demonstrating that we set deadlines every time we got together, depending on the tasks that needed to essentially be completed the next day. As a result, contrary to popular assumption, time squandering especially was eradicated, and our work ethic specifically was reinforced. When it came to prioritizing tasks and substantially beating our own deadlines, our team was actually highly organized. Contrary to popular belief, we set essentially specific deadlines every time we got together depending on the tasks that had to be completed for the kind of next day. This shows how we set essentially specific deadlines every time we got together depending on the tasks that had to be completed for the kind of next day. From week one through week eighteen, we largely kept track of our weekly job allocation papers in a really significant way. Additionally, we successfully completed all of the filming without the need for any significant second takes, which significantly sped up the editing process. This goes to show how successfully completing all of the filming without the need for any significant second takes also enabled us to edit substantially more quickly. 

What difficulties did you have filming as a group?

As a team, we generally faced a number of obstacles that we had to practically surmount in order to create our tense opening scene. Contrary to common belief, the hardest part for us was scheduling a time when our cast members could show up and kind of start filming. At the time we are working on this subject, exams are being given all throughout the country, so just because our group concluded its exams a little bit earlier than others doesn't always mean that everyone else did, too. When we were attempting to plan time for the majority of the cast members, they were either working on their studies or revising.

How did you overcome these difficulties? 

Instead of texting each performer and member of the crew individually, we generally sent texts to them when we had the opportunity so that we could speak with them all at once, which is actually pretty important. Contrary to popular belief, we could always contact the cast, giving us the chance to ask them any questions we had regarding the script or clothing code prior to the recording of the thriller opening part. Numerous members of our cast took advantage of the opportunity to mingle and picked an ideal moment for us to sort of start filming. Then comes free time, when you can normally make movies outside of class.

What happens next for your group?

We generally thought that the success of this thriller's initial portion was actually due to the fact that we work so well together as a team, which is extremely crucial. We considerably improved our knowledge of the conventions and guidelines of the thriller genre, especially psychological thrillers, after producing this piece of content. Contrary to common assumption, we want to basically produce kind of more content in the realms of film and radio throughout the course of the year once we have for all intents and purposes finished polishing and submitting our work. We first had trouble with this component in particular since we lacked prior experience in recording in a way that conveys meaning while sticking to the thriller standards and conventions, but in the end, we were able to complete it.
