Filming our first scene

After filming the first scene for the short film  I have come up with the following  conclusions of what went well and what I could improve on.

What went well

• Camera shots were perfect.
• Majority of the shots had enough light, however one thing to improve on is how we blocked out the light in some clips, so when looking at the video the lighting sometimes dramatically changes. 
• Actors acting was professional and to a high standard.
• Everyone had there role in the film,  Alex was director of photography, Dan as script supervisor and my self as the lighting technician we may have not followed the crew list, however I don't see this as a problem as we all found places where we were better suited.

What we could improve

• After asking for actors to come in casual clothing they turned up in school uniform, so that meant they ended up borrowing  clothing, so for the next stage of filming we will need to remember the same clothing.
• Actors did not know all the lines so filming  took longer than should have, so we need to tell them in advance when  filming will commence  so they can practice their lines.
