Test Shoot Review

Our idea worked very well when translating it into film and turned into a very engaging and tense sequence. one issue we came across was the after all of the editing was done was that we only had just under a minute of film, which is obviously too short, so we have decided to extend the breaking into the car scene to adding maybe even actually trying to hot wire a vehicle. Also when this is taking place the camera angles will need to change more often as it will bore the audience as some of the shots last too long, making it a little less tense and interesting. 

The action jump over the wall shot was great but felt a little rushed with too many cuts and different shots that may confuse the audience. this could maybe be avoided by having two more panning shots to not confuse the audience with too much going on at the same time. 

In later shots the camera angles and location of shots were perfect, however the lighting in some shots was a little too over exposed, making it look slightly less professional. This could be avoided by closing the exposure by a little bit or increasing the shutter speed. As we were shooting on a photography camera as a-posed to a film camera, we could use the ISO to reduce or increase the brightness of the shots and save it from being over exposed but this shot slipped through as we really liked the shot.

The shot we all really liked is when I used 'the weapon' in the killing scene. We liked the lighting, fast movement, and tension. The things we would change for the real shoot would be to find an old helmet and an actual weapon (prop) because the equipment we used was all to nice and new looking.

Overall our group test shoot went really well and showed us exactly what we need to add, change or cut into or out of our sequence.
