Continuity

One the biggest issues we encountered in our film opening was that of continuity. Filming in numerous locations at different times of day would heavily affect lighting and sound quality which we quickly realised in our first shoot. Initially filming inside the block of flats, lighting continued to vary between shots whilst we were first getting accustomed to using the camera. However, eventually getting into the habit of paying attention to light level and focus before recording prevented us from taking longer than necessary for the rest of the film. We found similar problems with mise en scene but it highlighted to us early on to take pictures/notes of costume and frame compositions. In our final film opening, we think paying such close attention to light levels paid off.
