Lenny

I learnt a lot from shooting the Lenny with my Film-TV1 group. I underestimated how time consuming setting up can be and that all creative decisions should be decided well and truly before setting up. We had an hour to shoot and we probably spent about 30-40 minutes of that hour setting up and moving the equipment around as well as calling the shots. We were limited with time so we couldn’t make the Lenny as well as we would have liked to but it shows that we ran out of time shooting only five lines.

I also discovered that framing and visual placement and representation are very important when it comes to shooting a film. I really like the opening scene for our Lenny which as Director I chose. Despite a nice opening,  you can see the public toilet sign and sign on the bin in the shot which is not good. We need to be more careful of this when we actually shoot our film. We couldn’t control who walked around in the background which came down to time, and we need to be careful that any persons appearance must be relevant.
