reflective writing practice

scenario 1
i am shooting a music video in a small studio in burton and i have booked the studio for three hours at a price of £20 an hour i will also be using a music artist from nottingham.i planed to use the studio for three hours but due to the late arrival of the artist i was behind an hour so i had to book the studio for another hour which i will have to pay at a later date.first i decided to use a green screen backdrop with a low light but when it came to editing i realised that the low light i had used was to dark and it did not light the artist.so i decided to use a dark background and take away the green screen and adjust the lighting which worked well. editing went
well but i did not have enough footage so the production was a fail.

after i had finished the shoot i felt a bit down after all the time and money i had spent on this music video but i have learnt a lot from this shoot like have a backup plan our test the lighting.

the best think about it was the experience i have gained from this shoot.but the worst think about it was the time and money i have spent on it.

i think that from the experience i have learnt to use my time and plan more.

i think if i booked the studio longer and use the lighting more effectively i could of had more footage to edit.

if i did it again i would book the studio for longer and get as much as i could and try out different lighting and backdrops.


scenario 2


i am shooting a short factual production using a new camera i have never used before i will be shooting for half of the day and editing for the rest as the deadline is for tomorrow. i was shooting in and around the streets.but when it came to editing i did realise that some of the footage was out of focus and some of the shots were pointed at the sun which meant that the aperture was almost closed. i had no choice but to use the footage i had i had good interviews but the footage let me down .

i felt disappointed with the footage but i learnt some good lessons with the shoots.

the shoot was really bad and i realised that i needed to look and learnt more about the camera
but i like the interviews.

the thing that i learnt was that you can not just go out and film

i could of filmed the short early so that i have got room for error

if i did it again i would use the camera and get used ton it
