A conversation

Brief Reflection:
We were given a task to make a short film on a conversation. For this, i worked with Lilo. We both worked together well, and both worked on it the same amount. I was the script writer, and came up with the plot, while Lilo was the film editor. We both planned the shots and angles together. 
There were things that i was pleased with, and things which could be imrproved on. I thought the over the shoulder shot worked and was filmed well. As Lilo and I were starring in the film, We had to use a tripod which was helpful as the clips were steady and not shaky. we also used a variety of shots e.g. Long angle/ Low angle. 
The main problem we had was with the background noise. When filming, there was a construction going on as well, and is clearly audible throughout some clips of the film. At one point of a long shot, the tripod was not set up right, therefore it was tilted a little bit. And lastly, It would've been better if we set up mics for long shots and not the mic on the camera, so we could hear the conversation clearly. 
Overall, I am please with the film Lilo and I made, as it was our first.

  1. I'm pretty pleased with it as well - it looks good. You're right that the main problem is noise, and since Lilo appears to be interested in teh visual side of things, I think it'd be a good idea if you familiarised yourself with the sound recorders you're going to be introduced to next week!
