Reshooting Footage

Shooting the footage took longer than we expected as we made some mistakes. However, these were mistakes that we could easily fix. For example, for one of the shots we forgot to reset the white balance, and we did not realise this until we had checked the footage after filming. This meant that we then had to rebook our actors and the pod to cary on filming. In terms of continuity, we made sure that we had the exact same props, in the same place on the table. This meant we had to have the same packaging for the donuts, and the same colour mug for the coffee. Also, we had to make sure that each actor was wearing the same costume; and all of this we did successfully.
Here is a print screen of the two different shots. The first one is the one we used in the final Edit.

Another mistake we made was that we broke the 180 degree rule. This was because we had the detective on the right side. However when we were doing the shot/reverse shot, we shot over his left shouldher , meaning he was on the wrong side. We did not need to reshoot this though, as we could fix this using the effects on the editing. We did this by selecting the shot, and then using 'Flop', which meant that the shot would flip over. These are the two shots, the first one is the right shot which we used in the final task. 

These are the lesson's that we learnt whilst filming and editing. Luckily, for this task we were able to reshoot certain shots, for example the shot where the white balance was off, and we could also use certian effects to change the shot where we broke the 180 degree rule. However, we may not always be able to fix it, therefore in the future we must make sure to be more careful when filming.
