Lessons Learnt

Lessons learnt whilst completing this documentary 1) How to look at a project through various perspectives, not only in terms of creativity and how things should appear, but also what needs to be done by different people within a group. What may be interesting and/or easy to do with a camera may not be viable when it comes to creating sound to fit 2) The use of filters and other available effects on the camera. While outside filming, the issue of zebra levels came up quite a lot. This was solved eventually when experimenting with filters. From this I have learnt when it is appropriate to use these filters, as previously I have used them in our first semester to less successful effect. 3) As well as technical skills, more personal skills have been learnt about how to deal with certain issues when shooting on location. In this case, while filming at a memorial we were approached by a member of the public who intervened with our work. I feel that we, as a group, worked well in not aggravating said person, and it has acted as a lesson on how to deal with the situation
