We have had to overcome a lot of obstacles and had a lot of difficulty getting some of our shots done. We shot the band shots in a very strong location, the mise-en-scene was perfect, it was an abandoned area that was sheltered by rusted metal. The landscape was overgrown with thorns and grass but the open space let the light come through so the cinematography wasn't ruined. The problem was were this ideal location was. The location was in the middle of a field surrounded by thorns, we had to transport a lot of instruments and amps to the location then move them from the cars to the location by foot. The day we did this was very well spent but it was very time consuming.
After editing what footage we have we are so far happy with the results. We do however have a lot of space to fill with our remaining shots which we haved tried to film on numourous occasions. One of our final shots is where I play guitar and sing the song directly infront of the camera so we have this shot, the band shot and our narrative shots giving a wide variety of footage. The difficulty of filming this is all three of us being available to film at the same time that the photography studio is free because this is the location we have to film it in. The other final shot will bring our narrative to a conclusion. We have our protagonist arguing with his mother and then buy alchohol.
When editing our teacher noted that the shots from our first shoot could be improved, specifically he wanted to see our protagonist get hit by the car which then causes him to fight the driver. We did not show him being hit by the car and were told that we may be marked down for this. If we re-film this shot it could mean re-filming the rest of those shots because the weather may be different.
