Production Day 2 - Interior Conversation Shots

On the second day of filming we shot our interior shots, theses were mainly shots between the Hero and the Nerd. We shot all the shots from where the Hero walks in to when the Hero leaves and the conversation ends. We did match on action shots to show the Hero moving into the room, some reaction shots for the conversation we also did allot of close up shots of items being handed from one character to another.

Problems
The dialogue was not well rehearsed so we had a lot of out-takes and mistakes in the performance. To solve this one of the group members would read out the lines before each shot to make sure that the performers knew what to say and could deliver it well. 
The positioning of the camera was a very difficult and time consuming thing to do and we spent a lot of time trying to make sure everything was in shot and focused well. To help on the floor we would place items (out of shot) to tell the preformers where to stand. 
The location we needed had to have a computer and that meant we had to go to a computer room. We had to ask Dave to find us a room but he had the wrong key so it took awhile to get into the room we needed.

What went well
We did however complete all the shots we wanted on time and we got to upload all our videos onto the mac and start to look through our shots so we would know if we needed to redo a shot the next day or not.
We had a lot of good ideas for shots that really improved the work we did that day and we realised we needed a reaction shot in our movie and this should improve the look of our completed piece.
