Microdrama: The Shoot

The Shoot

We organised for the shooting to be held on the 2nd of November, due to the credit of social networking we were able to communicate and organised this date easily therefore, each of us knew where we were shooting and what time we had to be there.

The Suitcase scene
We encountered many problems during the shooting process of the micro drama, to mention a few; our
arrival scene was next to a busy road luckily there wasn't any dialogue at this point in the film but we wanted to get the sound of suitcases trailing along the floor which took a few attempts as we had to wait for gaps in the traffic. Another problem we had was the lighting, this is where our creative thinking came in, because the rooms in Ben's house were so dark whoever was not in the shot had to hold a phone torch next to the camera so the light was better and it produced a better shot. Other problems consisted of pure stupidity from my classmates with unintentional noises and so on but this problems was easily solved by removing them from the room.

Through shooting the micro drama we definitely helped ourselves in gaining experience from this and what we can do next time to make our films better, things such as close ups to show characters emotions we forgot to use due to the rush of the filming, another thing we could of done better was to create a sense of realism which we did in some places but not in others this affected our preferred reading. Our main lesson we can take from this is to film alot more shots of alot more variety so we have alot of shots to work with in the editing process.
