Technical and logistical successes
Planning
Before we went out shooting we planned our work thoroughly, By story boarding and creating an extensive time management spreadsheet which aided us to complete the shooting with out going off schedule. We did not have to use any of the schools as we used my personal equipment; due to this there was no hassle about forms and time with equipment
Shooting
After we had discussed agreements of the locations and got the papers signed we were ready to go out and shoot. Unfortunately it rained all day when we went to do our exterior shots so we did some things in the studio. We use deado 0.8ks lights with tungsten - blue gel’s angled off –axis of the subject to achieve a nice dramatic lighting.
We then shoot all the exterior shots in one day shot after shot, as we already planned the routes from location to location we know how to get there and how long it would take to get there and we accounted for this in our schedule due to this we had time to start the edit the same day .
Post Production
After we shot the next step was to download and edit the footage. We used a software package called Final Cut pro to edit, as I edit on a day to day basis already knew the basics but the other member of my group hadn’t used it before but he was given a crash course and this enabled us to share the responsibility this was probably the easiest part of the production. We cut the footage and the we did something called post processing which is tweaking some visual aspects of the product like exposure , white balance and brightness and contrast after this we used live type to create the titles and text .
