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.
