Group 8: Shoot Feedback

• On Tuesday we went to Jacques house to film the intricate part of our production. We had the task of filming the establishing shots of the young boy and the house as well as the actual 'domestic violence' part of the video.
• We started by filming the establishing shots of the young boy asleep using steady-cam, handi-cam and tracking shots. These ideas are following our storyboard closely, an example being a tracking stair shot.

• We then filmed the movement of the boy where he wakes up, goes downstairs and eats his breakfast. We continued to use a range of camera techniques, including different angles such as birds eye view and low angled shots.
• An important part of the scene at the beginning of the video is the relationship between the mother and son. We realised it was important to film interaction between the two characters; we did this by having the mother kiss the boy on the head before she leaves for work.
• Once the mother had left we began to film the beginning of the domestic violence scene, we started with a shot of the step dad coming into the back ground out of focus with an extreme close up of the boys face in the foreground.
• Although the majority of our shoot was successful and we filmed high quality usable footage, the domestic violence scene lacked depth and wasn't good enough. We had some shots that looked really good but on the whole we didn't take enough footage.
• We will have to return to re shoot some of this in order to better our production.
