As the cinematographer, I witnessed firsthand the challenges our team faced during the filming process, particularly regarding slating and time management. The initial confusion surrounding the slating procedure led to unnecessary delays, highlighting the importance of clear communication. Although I accept it was my fault as well as I was absent the day of the location hunting.
We might have done better in a few instances, but generally, the first day of filming was productive. Although there were some last-minute changes made to the actors' clothes, the overall look was in accordance with the theme we had in mind. The visual quality of the video was improved by our assistant's great knowledge of camera techniques and lens choices.
Through their collaboration and openness to guidance, the actors brought the storyboard to life. Specifically, the main character provided insightful commentary and creative recommendations. However, I wasn't completely satisfied with the outcome of some scenes, due to some shadows in the background which I believed were quite visible.
(In the video, the shadows are more visible as the actors aren't moving so the viewers' eyes move immediately to the slightest movement)
Careful preparation and execution will be essential to the success of the next scenes, including the pursuit and tackle sequences. Through careful examination of the shot list and storyboard, we can spot possible problems and create workable solutions.
