Reflection of test shoot

Whilst filming the test shoot my group and i had a lot of things to think about such as angles, levels and positioning. When it comes to actually doing the shoot there are many things that you bypass in the preparation process that you are then not prepared at all for such as height of The two actors, surroundings of the place we are shooting with regards to noise level and lighting. The actual test shoot went well and we took many re-shoots of the same parts just to be sure we have all the footage we could need to give an indication as to if this idea will work for us or not when we get to the editing process. Although the test itself went well we found it particularly challenging to make it look as we envisioned it to be, meaning we struggled with the best angles and ways to fit in all the
important details into one shot. Once we were pleased with both the amount of footage we got and the footage itself we went back to the media room and began to edit. Upon editing we found various complications such as the way things in the room would move between takes and the way the actors may be in a slightly different position than they were previously, although not a big issue it made it harder for us to have a clear image of the thriller running smoothly.
During editing we found it hard to make certain bits of footage fit together meaning there were very untidy jumps between scenes with no fluidity. In the end we eventually found although the footage was not smooth and the acting was not perfect we still felt this was our ideal thriller and we as a group could see where we wanted to go from there and it was all down to pitching to Matt to find out if the idea is approved.
