SAMPLE SCENE 3: Narrative

...

...

What went well:
  • We were quick and efficient with shooting 

Things to improve:
  • Directing the cast to be more natural 
  • Cinematography needs to be less shaky 
  • Shoot for longer periods to avoid awkward cuts 
  • Have a less linear narrative
  • Look for natural shapes for potential layering 
  • Look at shots with a more critical eye 

Reflection:
  • We will probably change narrative to be less linear 
  • Learnt from mistakes and hopefully prepare better for the next shoot
  • Need to have camera rolling to get the more natural shots 

Audience Feedback:
