Like with the rehearsal shoots, we organised a schedule with the other groups based on when we were all available. Our group (Group 2) was scheduled to film on Tuesday and Thursday. We ended up having less time than the other groups as we had to set up the green screen for almost all of our shots.
We could only use a basic green screen during the test shoot since the other groups also had to use the studio for their shoots, this meant that we couldn't really get very good footage for long shots as we simply did not have the space. We did what we could but we were not able to get all of the shots we needed to complete the rough edit. We had some issues during the shoot such as floor lamps blowing and some of the lights on the lighting rig getting stuck on wrong colour settings. Furthermore, we were unable to add in the backgrounds in after effects, since by the time we were finished with the rough edit, we had to prioritise the planning of the real shoot.
The main issue we had was that of the small greenscreen, which hopefully will not be so bad in the real shoot as we will have a whole week to film. The problem of the technology failing us also impacted the footage we were able to get, we should probably leave some time in future shoots for this sort of situation, so that we can work around it. Finally, we realised while looking over the test footage that our scenes looked quite barren. This could be due to the fact that we had to use the small green screen, or that we did not have time to edit in the backgrounds, but it was still something that we had to take into consideration when filming in future.
