On the whole, our first shoot was a success. We had good weather and we turned up on with the epuipment to start shooting. We found that getting the shots of the BMW was relatively easy. We had the perfect location in the drive of Tom Hall's house and an unobstructed view from across the road. Also, the window on the top floor of the house made getting our aerial shots alot easier, as it looked over the drive and main road.
We put our shoot research and reccing shots to good use. We found the piece of road suitable for the pan shot we needed of the car, and also found that the multi story carpark overlooked that stretch of road which was really useful. The only trouble we think that we had was when attempting to shoot form a bridge overlooking the A21. We were trying to film our car as it sped underneath the bridge and to capture it on another camera as it passed through the other side. It was hard to get a clear shot of the BMW amongst the other cars as we did not know when we the car would be coming past.

Anamatic Analysis
After watching our anamatic production I can see that we have edited it right so that it is perfectly in time to the music. The shot changes occur how we planned them to in time with the beats and changes in the music.
I feel that we have planned a sufficient amount of shots to make our video a success. However, we have not shown this in our anamatic. We have incorporated a number of shots together into longer shots, so it seems as if each shot in our video is going to be between 5-10 seconds long which is not the case. We planned them to be on the whole, only a couple of seconds long.
In this instance, we have had to draw a number of new filler shots, in order to show the true extent of the shots that are going to be in our video. Many of the shots we planned where to be shot from a number of angles in order to make sure the shots we will film are as short as plan.
We didnt have any real roblems when filming our anamatic. The drawing process went smoothly, however when it came to filming, the shots weren't coming up clearly as they were drawn with pencil. we had to go over the outline of shot drawings with black marker in order for them to be clear on the film.

Call Sheets
Call sheets, or 'The Daily Call Sheet', is a term used in film making used to inform the crew and cast where and when they should be in particular place to do a day's shooting.
It is the job of the assisstant director to write this information up andto make sure all the people invoved in the production have a copy and understand what is expected of them.
They also contain things like contact information for actors and crew members, the schedule for the day, what scenes will be shot that day, which pages of the script will be used and the location's address. They may also transport instructions and safety notices.
The use of a daily call sheet is useful as it means everybody within the production crew and the cast are aware of what is happening for the following day's shooting. it makes sure that things go smoothly and that theres no confusion aboutwhat is happening when. A good call sheet can mean that the days production starts well and runs smoothly. the more information thats on a call sheet the less likely it is that people will start to make mistakes.
