Filming Evaluation
Anna's notes
Emma's notes
Planning
When planning our shooting we decided to do our shooting in the holidays rather than in college days because that would limit our time to after college or suring college that would limit our locations and casting.
We plan to do more than one take of a scene, we repeated alot acting as to get the best result and alot of choice of what footage to use.
We also got two cameras to use because this means we can get the same footage from two angles and can cut between them. We also got a tripod for one of the camera so that we could have tripod fottage and handheld for a range of different choice of footage.
We had planned to do most if not all the shooting on the first Saturday on the holidays, however our cast were unreliable and not as many people who we thought would come turned up. We still got a lot of shooting done though. Because of this we planned to do
-Few people Saturday, more Monday, but only got a few others
-Few people Saturday, more Monday, but only got a few others
How successful was our filming?
Problems with casting, only got a few people
Weren’t able to shoot some scenes because of casting
Armature actors, laughing

Good range of locations and didn’t have to go far
Technical problems we faced?
Battery ran out
Any re-shoots?
Yeah to get many options of the same scene

Planning
Storyboard
Locations
Cast
We intended to shoot on certain days where most people were available to help us act the scenes, however only a few people arrived on the day which meant that some scenes were put back for another day, this suggested that we had to quickly reorganise our scenes that featured a few characters instead of a group, this led to spending more time on the day sorting out what scenes to film.
When planning the shooting, I looked at similar trailers and looked at the different camera angles and shots that were featured in them; this helped us when shooting our trailer as we had an idea of what positions we needed when filming.
The planning of the shoots could have been improved by ..........
Filming
We planned to start filming our soap trailer on the Saturday in the October holidays; this was so we could get some more people to help us act in the shoot. We continued to capture the rest of the remaining scenes on the following Monday. We took out two cameras from Aquinas library and we already had one tripod to keep some of the scene footage steady, this was to ensure we had a range of camera shots throughout the trailer, for example handheld, establishing shots and tracks.
We followed our script and planning carefully so we would be organised and efficient with the filming. We had dialogue set for the cast to use, however they had the opportunity to improvise which was beneficial because it looked more genuine and natural.
There were many issues that we faced when filming which resulted in shooting for longer than we expected. We had different kinds of issues, some were technical and some were acting problems.
We faced difficulty with the cameras that we borrowed from the library, the main problem was getting used to the camera: of how to zoom in and out, how to play back footage and how to change the settings to widescreen.
The other problem was the battery, the second day of shooting, I realised that the battery of one of the cameras was about to run out, this meant that we could only use one camera to shoot many scenes; this resulted in retaking the same scene to get the different camera shots that we required. This was time consuming.
Although, we had some setbacks during the filming; we had some good aspects to it which were that we gathered a range of different camera angles, these included: tracks, pans, handheld, point of view shots, over the shoulder, close ups and long shots.
Planning?
2 shoots
2 cameras and 1tripod
Get few ppl on Monday
Planned to get more ppl but wasn’t successful
Successful?
Not enuff cast
Amateur actors resulted in crap
Noise problems eg. Road and cars/ other cast talking
Good locations to shoot
Were not able to shoot some scenes because of casting issues
Tecnical?
Batteries
Got a range of camera movements, alot of takes of the same scene so we can pick and choose the best
Any re shoots?
Yes, to get many options and different camera angles of the same scene
Planning Evaluation
Storylines: We have created our narratives to reflect our audience’s expectations. We are aiming our drama at teenagers; therefore we decided to have representations of teenagers so the audience can relate to the characters. We have created drama through using extreme real life teenage drama. For instance a teenage girl becoming pregnant is a real life teenage drama because of the amount of teenagers having unprotected sex. However it is an extreme case, yet for a drama, teenage pregnancy is an often used storyline. This is similar with fights, threats, relationship drama, getting kicked out of college, and friendship problems storylines.
Locations: I have chosen these locations because I feel they will create a good atmosphere for the different scenes, for instance under a bridge will seem dangerous and matched narrative of a fighting running and fighting sequence. I have also used mise en scene to give representations, for instance there is graffiti under the bridges that gives connotations of youths and rebel behaviour. Additionally, by using a train station or bus station gives representations of youths because they will use public transport. As well our storyline involves a group of teenagers around college educational age, therefore we can easily use our college to shoot in and then this gives representations of college students.
Script: In planning the script we used a lot of mode of address to reinforce the representations we want to create.
Here is a list:
“You sneaky shit!” – use of swearing gives representations of rebellion behaviour often seen in youths to revolt against parents and authority.
“That was a rubbish lesson, almost fell asleep" – refers to a college lesson, obviously reinforces to representations of students.
“skank” – Use of youthful aggressive language and insults, especially those of demeaning abuse to women give representations of violence and create drama in the trailer.
“mates" – This is a colloquial speech often used by teenagers, reinforcing this stereotype.
“bedding your girlfriend all the fricken time?!" – Again colloquial language used in an aggressive manor to create representations of violent teenagers.
“Ahh you bitch” – Again use of swearing gives representations of rebellion behaviour often seen in youths.
