As a group we were unsure if we were able to hand in our coursework on our deadline however we were able to complete this dead line to our surprise. We felt good about this however our teacher gave us our feedback and it wasn't as good as expected, as this was a chance for him to see our work he gave us the chance to add a few shots.
We decided to change a few shots and re-shoot on Saturday. We decided after talking to our teacher that in order to push our coursework into a level three - level four we would need to add in different shots from various angles instead of having the camera on the floor for a large number of shots and instead incorporate some mid level and high level shots. We found it difficult in parts to use the camera for shots like high angles as we didn't know what looked the best and what didn't as it was the first time we had taken many of our new shot ideas but actually once we tried it a few times and watched it back we were able to see quickly where we were going wrong and what we needed to change in order to improve the shot. I believe that we were able to come to this conclusion much faster than if this was our first time using the equipment at all as we now have a great knowledge and therefore we were able to think of different ways in which to go about each of the shots and were able to come to a conclusion about what would look good and what wouldn't.
We also had to change the parts we already had my breaking some of them up so that instead of constantly panning along the ground in order to follow the characters movements we were shooting from one side of the room and moving to the other to show that he was walking towards are certain direction or was walking past certain points. By doing this we are adding more and more variety of shots and our teacher has told us that by doing this we have the potential to push our grade up further.
I believe that with the shots we have taken this weekend that our coursework should go up another level as we know use a variety of different shots rather than staying safe with the shots we knew how to do rather than thinking what would look better and trying different things. I also believe that our work in now deserving to go up a lot higher in marks as we have done what we have been told to do in order to improve it and I believe that we have carried it out well.
