What went well?
I thought that we had a wide range of shots and that the continuity edits were good. This made the sequence more interesting. The combination of shots when Lucy answered the phone worked really well, I thought and when she was walking though the door, the shots we used looked good. We also worked hard to try and not break the 180 degrees rule and that paid off, as you could tell which way the characters were looking/walking all the time. We also used natural lighting, so we didn't have to worry about something not being seen when it was meant to e.t.c.
Criticisms
Although our continuity with shots were good, the costumes and weather changed in the sequence, this is because we filmed over two days. Another criticism is that when Lucy answered the phone we saw that she pressed 'hang up' and not 'answer', so we either should have got her to actually answer it or done a shot that doesn't show how she's answering the call. In the feedback someone also said that the shot of me walking was too long and we should have used different shots or just cut it shorter.
Do I agree?
Yes, because as a group we saw those things wrong with it but we didn't have time to go back and re-film them. If we could of, we would have. We need to take this into account for our actual sequence se we can make sure we have enough time to go back and re-film if we need to.
Organisation
We didn't have much time to plan it in the first place, so we did a lot of improvising. We only really had enough time to get a story line down and work out where we were going to film. Not having a script slowed us down though, as a bit of time and thought has to go into a script. However, we used what we could find and it worked. For example the shot of Lucy's feet walking, was first shot with a skate board under the camera, but after looking back at it we realised we couldn't use it as it was too shaky and noisy. So we managed to find some rope and a lid and stuck the camera on there and it came out pretty decent.
How to improve?
We could improve by making sure we are fully prepared for shooting with a script e.t.c and that everybody knows when the filming days are so that everyone comes prepared. We also need to use a wider variety of shots to keep the audience interested. Next time, I think we should shoot inside as the weather is unpredictable and whatever happens the lightings never going to be the same one day to another, and shooting insides means that we wouldn't get unwanted noise like wind e.t.c.
