How the shoot went

The shoot was problematic. At first we didn't finish the shoot in one session and the next lesson we were all wearing different clothes and our 'office' was booked, so we had to find another room and begin again. As we were now behind with shooting we managed to finish in one lesson.
During shooting we had problems with different shots awe couldn't do over the shoulder shots, over the shoulder of the boys to me, as they are a lot taller. We also had some problems with the continuity when we came in wearing different clothes.
We overcame these problems by only shooting over the shoulder shots over my shoulder at the boys and by beginning again in a new setting.
As a team we had some problems due to absences and other team members not being organized. 
Over all I think the footage we shot was okay but needs a lot of work. We tried to think about the continuity of the entire piece as we shoot different parts and abide by the rules as much as we could. I think there is a lot of room for improvement as we have parts where one person is using a megaphone and isn't in other parts. I think we also should have marked where we stopped on each shot before starting to film again from another angle to improve the continuity. We also need to make sure that we edit what we shot carefully to get as much continuity as possible as what we have seems to jump around slightly due to the filming and the fact we started from different points each time.

Mise-en-scene

We wanted an office situation and found one that needed only minor adjustments, position of seating to make space for the tripod. All the other aspects of set were already in place. We used the P.E. office as one of the characters is the head of P.E. For our costumes we decided that we would wear smart work clothes as it is set in a school office. We didn't wear any make-up or costumes that we wouldn't normally wear or anything that would look over the top.

Risk Assessment

Before we started to film we had to do a risk assessment to see what the dangers were and how we could prevent accidents from happening.

These bags could cause a health and safety hazard as someone could trip over the straps or the bag its self. We will make sure our bags are left somewhere else or are right out of the way where we are filming and away from where they could be a hazard for other people.

Having electronics and liquids together is a hazard problem as it could cause a fire or hot water could burn someone if it is spilt. also having wires every where could cause a problem as someone could get caught in them or the might be pulled and knock things over causing more hazards. We will make sure the kettle has not boiled recently and there is no water on the desk, we will also make sure the wires are neat and out the way from causing any problems.

Recce shots

Learning support room

This wouldn't be a good place to film as it is too small and doesn't have an office look about it which we need for our setting. To be able to use this room we would need to get permission from the learning support staff. In this room we wouldn't need to use any artificial light as the window provides enough natural light.

PS3

This is a better place to film than the learning support room but  it still doesn't look like a an office. To be able to use this room we would need to get permission from the sixth form staff. In this room we wouldn't need to use any artificial light as the window provides enough natural light.

Music office

This is an even better place to film than the last two and would work well is it is actually an office but it is too small to film in. If we did film in this room we would need to get permission from the head of music. For this room also we wouldn't need any artificial light.

 Kings room

If we were to use the kings room it would be great as a set as it looks like an office and it is big enough to be able to film in well. We would have to make sure it was free and get permission from either the head of languages or a member of staff in the office. This room is well lit from the window and so would require no artifical light.

P.E. office

This is a good place to film as one of the characters is the head of p.e. and we need an office like place to film.To be able to use this room we would need to get permission from the P.E. staff or the head of P.E. In this room we wouldn't need to use any artificial light as the windows and doors provide enough natural light. We have decidedto use this room as it ties in with our script and is more availible then the kings rom.
