However, there were areas for improvement.
We had planned from the start to film in the medical room as this setting would make sense to why Connor is wounded. Although, we soon came to realise that filming time during media lessons became unproductive. Throughout this time, filming was interrupted by students needed medical attention. After multiple failed attempts at filming in lesson we ended up filming the whole thing afterschool in just an hour, a lot shorter then the combined time of us trying to film before. However, now we have learnt to consider the time and place we are filming for next time.
In addition, characterisation. Although this task was basically a practise for using the cameras, our use of costume, props and overall acting was quite low. For example, Connor, despite a clear shot to the leg with a staple gun, appeared uninjured. This inevitably made it unclear to why Connor was laid down in the medical room in the first place. Our lack of effective acting made the whole plot look lazy and not engaging. When it comes to the main task however, I believe we will be more dedicated.
When watching our clip back on YouTube, we noticed that our audio levels were poor, particularly our dialogue. Music levels were acceptable as in they wouldn't overpower the dialogue if the dialogue was fine, however in this task they did.
