Effictiveness of the pre-production

Our pre-production was very useful as it allowed us to have a well planned and time effective shooting day, due to a thorough organization.

In my opinion the organization which helped us the most was our shot list as it helped us establish the best angles in which to achieve the “spooky” atmosphere we wanted. It also helped us asses the best shots in which to show of our skills. Furthermore the props and costume list helped us to be prepared and not delay shooting to find what we needed as we already had the props to hand on set.

I would say one of our weaknesses was not anticipating the smell which the meat would exude, as it would have been more pleasant to have a mask or a perfume spray to cover it up.
This experience of film making was very beneficial as it opened my eyes to all the planning which is needed. It also taught me that it is good to have a high-quality crew who you get on with around you as it is useful to have people on the same page as you who understand the aim of what you are trying to achieve.
