Construction Post 3: Reflections on our Main Shoot Session

Overall our main shoot session was very successful. I felt as a group we learnt a lot from our mistakes in the test shoot and went into this shoot with a completely different attitude. I think one of the main differences between our test shoot and our main shoot was that for our main shoot we decided to scrap the shootboard and instead make a list of all the essential shots we needed to get. As when we showed the edit of our test shoot to our target audience group one of the comments they made was that they felt it was 'too structured' which made it look 'slightly unrealistic'. Although shoot boards are very useful for most projects we believed for our opening sequence it was important for us to slightly improvise and be giving the freedom of not keeping to a schedule to allow us to get a variety of different and realistic shots for our montage sequence.
