Production- skills Development

Skills Developed

Compared to my As production work there has been a huge difference in how i approached planning the production.  Skills i learnt last year was taken into consideration and used to help me to plan our production process. 

However there has been a big development when it came to planning, for example each time before we went out to film i did weather checks to make sure it was suitable for us to go and film and it it matched our mise en scene and the overall idea of the video. Another big difference to last year planning was that i made sure that we planned exactly what we aim to get done at the end of each filming session. when we planned for each filming session it was easier for us to get straight to filming and not to waste time, also when filming sessions didn't go as planned we would immediately plan to go back another day and do it without wasting time.

Another thing i thought that was planned really well during the production process were the timing of my groups meetings. We kept in contact with each other and made sure we planned to meet at a decent time so we can get as much footage before it started to get dark.

However i felt that during the production process we should have used the story/animatic to guide us and to refer back to it because i felt that we slightly lost track of what we originally planned and the exact shots that was needed. In contrast to my As work we used the story board as guidelines each time we filmed.
