Organisation
We organised everyone a few weeks before half term so we could shoot in the holiday. This really helped us as last year we struggled to cope with organising everything on time.
Weather
The weather was almost ideal for what we wanted to shoot as it wasn't wet or sunny but it was very windy. In some shots the wind was useful to create a perfect scenario for the narrative but in some shots it was too strong and every ones hair was blown everywhere.
Specific Shots
We managed to accomplish a few good shots in the footage we shot such as the 360 pan of the girl with the wind blowing in her face and the guitar solo on top of the dunes.
Strengths
I think the main strength we had was having everyone being organised for this shoot as there was 8 of us and we had to take two cars and a bike to get there. Futhermore myself and Nathan managed to keep everyone under control and for them to stay with us and just do the work without them wanting to go off on the beach.
Weaknesses
I think the weakness of this shoot was that we got a lot of shots that are all very similar so there isnt a great deal of variety in the shots we took. Most of the shots are either on the beach or in the dunes so there are a lot of shots that look the same
Who Did What?
Both myself and Nathan had a go at directing. He would direct the shots with the tripod while i would direct the shots that involved handicam shots.
We were really very happy with the weather it made it harder to shoot as it was very cold, however the shots have come out very well. It took us a while to get the cast sorted out but once we did the shots came along much quicker.
