Reshoot- 22/03/2012

Today we reshoot our MI5 scene. In this reshoot we were focusing on getting some close ups of our female actor. This was decided upon from the feedback that we got back from our teachers and also once we had looked back over the footage we realised where we could improve it after hearing the comments from the teachers.
However we came across some difficulties with the time we wanted to reshoot and also the lighting within the room. When we shot this scene before the room that we used was available. Although when going back today we found out that this room was not and we had to use another room. This wasn't so much of a big issue as we were focusing on close ups and not the tracking shots. We were able to use this room though as we just needed to have the whiteboard in the background so that we could have the picture of our male character projected onto that.
Another problem that we faced was with the lighting in this room. To minimise the amount of light coming in the room we shut the blinds likewise with the other room we had used previously. However when shutting the blinds only one of them would actually shut fully. There was also light coming in from the top of the left hand corner in the room where there are some windows at the top of the ceiling. We could not do anything about these. However to get around most of th problem we covered all windows with black paper. This did effect the lighting in our footage as it was a bright day, we couldn't have done anything to produce the impact of this. When watching this footage once we had filmed it we still thought that it was too bright. This is when we decided that we would need to edit this in the software of Premiere Pro.

Having said all of this, we did actually get all of the footage that we wanted and we were also able to get some extra shots within the time that we had just incase some of the shots can not be used due to light conditions. Overall, I do believe that this was a successful reshoot as we were able to get the footage that we needed and hopefully now we will not need to reshoot anything else from this scene after we have watched the footage back.
