Lots of issues that I and other people noticed. I am really not too happy with the work on looking back at it but there were a lot of issues on the day and at an outside location that aren't easily avoidable. I agree that a lot of the camera work just wasn't up to scratch. Overall I think it was a rush to set up each shot, a lack of everyone knowing what shot was what and a panic to get things finished that lowered the standard.
Some of those issues we can be sure to solve next time, I will be shotlisting more closely with the whole group so that everyone has a sense of every shot, so we are always on the same page. I also would like to shoot less that 3 pages a day, 2 would be much better however the cost would go up a lot as we are paying £50 a day for our child actor Courtney so we may have to look at funding. Next a tighter schedule, on our first day we had a rough schedule sort of group of shots for time, I would rather have a specific slot per shot so that we can tell when we are behind and infront of time exactly.
I missed a few focus points along the way, thats unforgivable but if we had longer I'm sure its something that would have ironed out over a few takes. The same goes for a few of the performances and camera movements. I struggled with the heavy duty tripod a little, especially on the tracks and a few of the tracking shots just weren't possible, I may have to invest in a steady cam for the more complex shots of the next project.
