PROBLEMS WITH OUR PRELIMINARY

On our first day of filming we only managed to shoot half of the scene, deciding to continue the next day.  However we dismissed match on action and certain aspects of mise en scene were changed, for example our costume, hairstyle and lighting(due to change of weather conditions).
To overcome this problem we had to reshoot it and use our time productively in the next filming session so we could finish it in one period.

Another problem we had was during the scene in one of the shots the white balance was not set accurately and so the color did not match the other shots. 
To overcome this we used 'Final Cut' when editing our footage and in order to make the color the same as the others we had to add a filter to the shot.
This is an example of how white ballance can affect a shot.
The shot we did without white balance being set was originally like the left hand photo.
During the filming we took each shot multiple times, varying slightly, so we were able to decide which shot we preffered and so we had a lot of excess waste footage; but unfortunately due to the amount of waste our final peice was a lot shorter then we expected and did not meet the one minute expectation (our peice is only 40 seconds long).

All though we experience several difficulties we were able to overcome them due to the IT support staff and working well as a group.☺

  1. Good discussion of this. Can you include any screen grabs from rushes, or from the final film?
