How did your production skills develop through out this project?

1. HOW DID YOU PRODUCUCTION SKILLS DEVELOP
THROUGHT OUT THIS PROJECT?
This frames of filmed were pre production of RadioWaves in which we
worked on other projects in order to prepare ourselves for our final
film, as you can see due to the fact that we where still learning how to
work and operate a camera there where white balance issues
These are frames of film whilst we were filming, this was
test footage however, as you can see there is major ISO
and lighting issues. From these we started to plan times
in which were best to film, in order to get clear and
crisp images
CAMERA
The camera was a real point of issues within our production
development, in that we had to try, learn and understand how to
operate it effectively. We wanted to produce images that were
crisp, clear and color correct. We uses a Canon 700D to film
and when used correctly we found it was extremely effective.
However within out first attempts of use we found we had White
Balance issues, ISO and focusing challenges. However through
practice and use of the camera we managed to get the shot we
wanted that effectively allowed us to create the mood and plot
we wanted in a thriller like setting.
SOUND
Sound we felt was the easiest to
create, as we had no foly within
out thriller film opening. We only
had to record waves in which
continued to role through the
whole film, and we also had to
record screeching birds, this was
difficult as the seagulls would
naturally want to scatter when we
came near them. However, this was
an easy skill develop by the end
of our production process

2. This was whilst we were in production of our films, as you can see we
started looking into better lighting environment along with double
checking the camera was set Manually to the right levels in order to
get crisp images, due to the cloudy day this was hard to do.
These frames whilst in production came out perfect are both
clear crisp and of perfect color.
Overall our production skills improved immensely through
a large amount of trial and era, and test footage.
However, we are confident this allowed us to fully
understand all aspects of production and meant it was
easier to create our final film.
LIGHTING
Lighting was huge challenge as we
wanted to film in sunset as this
gave a conventional thriller feel to
every film as it is a very
mysterious kind of day. It was hard
to balance the camera settings in
the changing lights therefore there
was a lot of experimentation within
the lighting test shots. However, we
learnt to film quickly and
effectively. We found overcast
setting an easy task to handle as
the varying lights of pinks and
yellow differed too much in the time
it took to film in typical sunsets.
Our assessment of correct film
lighting improved dramatically and
allowed us create the film we
desired to create.
