-> 180 degree rule was used when Jasmeet and Thajeethan had a conversation. We made sure that we had not gone over the boundary. There was a point were we did not realise that we broke the 180 degree rule but once watching the complete editing we had to make some changes. 180 degree is when you do not cross the invisible line on the camera which we shouldn't cross. The camera should remain within that boundary.
Rule of thirds is when you are third way down the camera. We used rule of thirds mostly throughout the whole filming. One scene were we had used the rule of thirds was when Jasmeet was running, we made also made sure she did not break the 180 degree rule. The rule of thirds: photos are divided into thirds with two imaginary lines vertically and two lines horizontally making three columns, three rows, and nine sections in the images. Important composition elements and leading lines are placed on or near the imaginary lines and where the lines intersect.
Match on action is a very simple but essential technique, where the perspective of the camera changes during a scene and the scene continues to flow. We used match on action when Jasmeet had opened the door and ran through the door. This scene was two shots but we made it flow to seem as though it was only one shot. We also made sure that Jasmeet did not break the rule of thirds while doing this.
What challenges did you face during production? what would you change if you were to film again?
-> There were many challenges which we had faced such as continuity. The first challenge we faced as a group was misplacing our SD card. We had already done 5 shots but we misplaced the SD card which meant re shooting the 5 scenes again. This disappointed us as a group but we still continued to finish our filming in time and managed our time well. The clothes Jasmeet had worn had to be the same. There were alot of continuity problems. There was one scene were the Jasmeet had worn glasses and the next scene was without glasses so we had to re shoot because, there was no continuity in the shoots. There was also one day were Jasmeet had not worn the same clothes so that lost us a day of filming although we managed to not waste time and use it wisely. We did shots were Jasmeet was not needed. We also faced problems such as keeping the shots the same. There was a shot were Jasmeet had to open the doors and she pulled the door with her right hand, the second shot were she was coming through the door she had come through the left door. If we were to film again there would be many changes we would do such as making sure every shot linked and silly mistakes weren't made. I would also make sure we do over shoots at the beginning and end so that if we needed extra shoots to make it flow better it would help. Also shooting from all angles and choosing which works best.
What challenges did you face during post-production? What would you change if you were to edit again?
-> My group thought we had to do the story board at home so we all came to school with our storyboard and realized our storyboards did not flow because, we all had added the same shots so it was repeated unintentionally. We also changed our filming to what our actual plan was, there is many things which we had not used such as the over the shoulder because, it was too hard to get it to match what we wanted. The shots we had put in our storyboard, many were used but not in the specific areas as mentioned on the storyboard. If we had to edit again we would make sure we made it specific as to who is doing what part of the storyboard, and make our storyboard more specific so that we can use it and not change any part of the storyboard when it comes to editing.
What are the overall strengths of your work? Why?
-> The overall strengths of our work would be that we worked well as a team. in our group there was Jasmeet, she did the acting, Ellie who helped with the settings and camera position and counting Jasmeet in, and I was the person to film and were i needed help Ellie would help me. I believe there were many mistakes but there were also lots of positives to our filming and editing as we worked together as a team and made sure we put in our efforts.
What are the overall weaknesses of your work? Why?
-> The overall weakness of our work was that we had done the shots to precise and we did not do any over shots. This was the biggest mistake because, when editing we realized there were many things which we could have added and we also needed them extra seconds in the shots. An example would be when Jasmeet was running the scene stopped at her reaching midpoint. The next shoot we took of her was when she was right at the end so it did not flow. To cover this I had included a cut away because, this helped break the scene and it flowed better.
What overall improvements would you make to your work? Why?
-> I would improve the storyboard and also the filming. I would make sure the storyboard is precise and the filming has lots of over shots at the beginning and ending just in case it is needed, instead of having it precise and realizing it does not flow properly. Also shooting from all angles and choosing which is better for the situation.
Below are images of the storyboard, the storyboard is not in order as to the complete filming as i had made changes during the editing session:
