From doing a remake of another students work, I learned that it is really hard to rely on people as many people don't show up for certain meetings about what you will be doing or won't show up on a date in which you decided to film and can be very unreliable. It is hard to work around other students schedule and when they can do stuff the same time as you, doesn't also work. I also learned that sometimes things come up and things can't get done e.g. being ill. However, I had to get over this and after rescheduling a couple of dates, we just came up with a date and told all group member's to be there or we would have to do it without them otherwise, this was to get over this problem.
Once we started filming, we found it quite difficult to figure out from where a shot would have been taken from and tried to copy the exact angle used, I learned from this that we should have worked all of this out before. During filming, we had to re shoot some of our scenes as the actor's facial expressions looked wrong and inappropriate which couldn't be helped but we again learnt from it and worked out that we should have thought about the expressions before hand and told the actor's how we wanted them to look.
Before now I didn't realise how much time it would have taken to film this sequence and how much thought and effort went in it so I think now we should have given ourselves a bit more time to complete and we ended up rushing some parts. We could have helped ourselves by making sure the camera was fully charged before we started filming which is what we will need to do for our real thing.
However, I feel that we did well on finding a place to shoot in and the thought we put in of the mise-en-scene. The fact our character's were wearing the right costumes and we had the use of a knife, 'blood' which was ketchup and this could have been checked to make sure and changed to make this look more realistic. We also had the use of the mop and bucket which all these things helped the scene.
