X SHOOT1 Behind the Scenes of Shoot1

This is our behind the scenes video of our first shoot.  Overall I think it went very well and we were all very determined to achieve as much as possible through this shoot.  We each took on roles to make this as easy for us as possible whilst still chipping in our ideas and everyone taking them on board.  I think we've all learnt a lot through this process which will be helpful for our next shoot.  For example, we figured out that it's a lot easier to continue to film the exact same shot multiple times instead of stopping recording just to start again.  Another thing we learnt was how to efficiently use our time.  We could only film our first scene after 12:00 due to having to order the pizza, so instead of waiting, we filmed all the other shots before that one.  One thing we had a bit of trouble with, is not having all the props needed that day as Bright Films was unable to make it.  For our next shoot we will make sure that all of the props needed will be at the location before we shoot so that we are sure that we haven't missed anything.
