Preliminary Sequence - Did you feed the fish

I felt that our "Did you feed the fish" task went well. I was a bit nervous as it was my first real practical in a-level media but I have experience from year 10 and 11. Obviously when you plan anything out it becomes easier as you know what you are supposed to do so when we arrived at our now different location we all sat down and decided where to start filming. We decided to start filming from back to front as we would work our way down the building filming. If I were to re-do this task I would have done this a different way, in that I would film in order of how the actual final piece goes but this did not alter the production it just made things a little bit more complicated. I think that the location we chose was excellent and went well with the context of the film. The outfits e.g hood and dark clothing went well with the characters as it was casual and not completely ott. As we shot this in HD I felt that the quality came out very well, yet as it was windy on the rooftop the sound was not up to scratch. The acting was not the best but I feel that as long as the camera angles, mise en scene and quality was brilliant then this would over shadow the fact that we are not hollywood actress's, however we did try our hardest. The filming experience was fun overall as we worked well as a team and all knew what we had to do and could make input knowing that it would be listened to. We had all studied this piece of work and knew what was to be put into it which made the whole process alot easier and run smoother. Overall I feel that every factor of this filming for example, the location, the quality of the camera, the angles and continuity all made the piece alot better, I believe that for our first piece this was a good one and I am proud of it.
