The group did well working together but could improve their filming techniques. Shots were unsteady from forgetting the tripod and framing and positioning of actors needs work. Sound quality was unclear during conversations. While content met the task, editing and mise-en-scene could be stronger by improving lighting, continuity of shots, and adding music. Overall planning and equipment preparation needs more attention going forward.
