Evaluation of shooting session

On March 19th, my group and I filmed the footage from our fight scene. We went to a classroom in lower school (our primary location idea, the dance studio, was being used), which was good because it had the right amount of natural light so that we could see the filming in good quality but also had a gloomy, darker look than classrooms in the sixth-form center. After pushing back all the tables and chairs, we started filming our fight scene. Beth filmed the scene, in which the hero (James) and the villain (myself) have their "final battle" (breaking conventions and linear narritive structure by showing the final battle first). We shot the scene on Beth's ipod camera, which produced a good quality image. We will mute and re-record sound in the editing stages as there was lots of unwanted background noise (lower school kids walking past). We filmed most of the shots several times and a few from different angles so that we have more to work with during the editing stages of our film opening coursework project. Because we did not use a tri-pod, we will have to see how the clips look in the editing and if it doesn't look good we may have to refilm some shots next week. I think that, even if we do have to refilm parts, we got some good shots and it helps that we now have a better understanding of our film opening scene.
