We had a few problems with shooting, mainly that the camera we were using had run flat on battery, so we asked around and managed to find a HD Flip Camera. At first we thought this would leave us at a disadvantage as we felt the size of the camera would comprimise the overall quality of the shoot, but this doesnt seem to be the case. The camera was much easier to use than the previous one, the audio and picture quality was just as good and when we uploaded the files they were already converted into the right format making it much easier for us when we started editing. Overall it was a really useful camera to find out about and may feature in future shoots!
Another decision we faced was location - where could we shoot the film which allowed the right atmosphere? We thought about a few place around school but opted for the drama room as it had enough space, a dark backdrop for the scenes and the option the filter the amount of light entering the room with the use of the blackout curtains.
You've started to post an appropriate amount of detail, Kirsty; you need to maintain and develop this approach. Remember, you are discussing your progress, explaining what you have done and how you have improved. You can also analyse your work with reference to other media (both student work and professional).
