R+P Post 32: Test shoot and rough edit

The media department created a test shoot schedule catered for the three A2 media groups, based on when we have free periods and breaks/lunches. In the table below, we are in Group 1 which is coloured white.

From looking at this schedule, we thought we had lots of time to test all the shots and set ups that we wanted, however, we soon realised that lighting takes a lot longer than expected. It involved selecting all the lights we wanted and changing their colours so that the performer was illuminated perfectly. 

From the rough shoot for both studio and narrative we discovered some things that needed to be worked on such as:

- More energy in the studio shots in terms of performance

- A range of studio shots (e.g. dolly shots)

- More clips for the narrative section

- A clearer storyline in the narrative section

- Improve continuity at the beginning

We then conducted some audience and teacher feedback and they agreed with the above points as well as adding further improvements:

- Make the studio shots more elaborate and exciting

- Tighter framing

- Could use a split screen for the narrative to make the storyline clearer

- Fast pace editing to engage audience more
