Mise-en-scene
In our film, we are using mise-en-scenein a number of ways. The main props that will be featured in the film are a frypan, a phone and a skateboard. The settings that we will be using are a park, a house, a road and a corner store. Our costumes are regular everyday clothes.
Reflection for Production Task
1. There were some problems that we encountered due to not having a long time for filming. We planned on filming during the holidays but we did not have the time because we were all busy. It was also quite difficult to find a time to film during the weekends because of previous commitments.
2. Some of the time management problems were that we could not film until the second last weekend before it was due as we were unable to get together. We overcame this by, when we could get together, we did all of the filming that was left and were able to film all afternoon which meant we finished it quickly.
3. Our group did not really use the provided templates. The shot list was useful to an extent however we found that we were unable to do all of the shots and we did not effectively use the props list of the shooting schedule.
4. The planning process did help as when we got around to filming we knew our idea well and understood the storyline of our film better. I think the story board and film synopsis were the most helpful as they let us see the film more clearly in our minds and let us finalise the finer points of our ideas.
5. some of the difficulties that arose from the filming process was that it was hard to find a cast. We did not have our final cast until the morning of the day we were filming as some people could not come due to illness. It was also quite awkward during the filming process as I was un sure of what to say during some of the scenes and had to do some improvisation.
6. After reviewing the footage, I believe that the entire film has turned out better than expected. However, I believe that there could be a wider range of shots in our footage. I also believe that we need to re-shoot the ending.
7. Some of the skills, techniques or tricks that I have least from the filming are that it is not necessary to film movies from the beginning. I also learnt that there are ways to film things that make the viewers understand what is happening with out having to actually film them.

Time Code
The timecode is mostly used for synchronisation and logging.
The time code is starting from the left, hours, minutes, seconds, frames
eg.
02:34:26:03
This means that it is 2 hours, 34 minutes, 26 seconds and 3 frames

Filming
The filming for this film was quite difficult as it was hard to find a day when everyone was free. Our shot list was really useful though as when we could film it did not take to long because everyone knew what they were doing and it was very organized. It was also difficult to film at some of the locations we were going to use origianally because we didn't have the time to get there. Our group works well when we are together but as previously stated we do not have much time to work together because of other commitments.
