LLM: Reflection on Shoot 1

Location: Tonbridge train station car park; Tonbridge cottage hospital and Lucas' house

What went well:
 - As a group we worked well together all having a clear understanding on what shots we needed

 - The low key lighting from both our cars and the station lights is clear and a good effect

 - The costumes worked well with the lighting and the darkness - all white tracksuit

 - The weather didn't pose a threat at all, allowing us to have the time to film what we wanted

What problems did you face:
 - The first problem we faced was that there were too many people coming home from work at that particular time we were filming, so to overcome this we had to leave and come back at a later time

- Another problem we faced was half way through filming the tripod we was using came apart, this meant we couldn't use the track or the dolly any longer because the camera wouldn't be steady enough when trying to balance on top of the tripod

Going forward:
- We now have to film two more shoots at two more locations and then we can move onto editing our footage in lessons
