Production log 18

When we started all our pre-production which was all the planning everything was working very smoothly. Our call sheets, script, reccies were on point but as soon as filming started everything had started to slack off a little bit due to the fact that we couldn't stick to filming times and we had to re-film quite a lot. Even though in the middle there was a bit of an off moment; at the end of production everything had come together nicely and we were back on track again.

In this project I have contributed quite a bit as i was the director of the opening sequence and i had Kieran film the first half of it whilst i filmed the second half. Even though Kieran filmed the first half i had taken the initiative to tell him how i wanted it to happen and he did deliver. Also whilst Kieran was editing the opening sequence i was looking over it and telling him what i thought and if i had any ideas on what more could be cut off or what order the shots could be in. Filming was the major thing i really contributed in whilst Kieran had taken charge in editing. Jay had contributed by providing suitable music for the production.

Our group as a whole did function adequately however we did have to base our filming schedule around our actors as they were not a part of the group and we needed them more than they needed us. Due to this we had to make our schedule on their day but Jay had other commitments he had to make and this delayed us for a little while but this was not a major issue as at the end our opening sequence became successful.

A good thing when doing this project was the actual filming as every time we did film it happened quite efficiently. Every time we re-filmed we had to re-film the whole entire opening sequence in that one day and the results that came out after each filming session were decent. On the last time we re-filmed it was the best quality of footage and most of that made it into the final cut. When filming there were no arguments which was good and this was due to the fact that everyone knew their roles so they let each other get on with it. To improve i think i could have done everything much more quicker and we should have really prepared ourselves for the shortage in time.
