logged.
12 minutes of footage have been
imported onto hard drive ready for
editing.

Problems encountered:
Most of the footage shot contains a significant amount of video noise and grain caused
by the sensor in the camera this is due to not obtaining the same camera, Nikon D3200
from last time and having to result to a cheaper DSLR, Canon EOS 1300D more
sensitive to video noise leading to drop in video quality. Furthermore, the footage
captured appears blue due to the white balance.

Reasons for problems and possible solutions:

The cold white balance from the camera will be corrected in postproduction when
colour grading the footage later on. Video noise that is noticeable in some shots will
have to be filtered in post to remove the grain retaining additional quality from the
images.

Details of successes:
No issues occurred regarding extras, all extras turned up on time and contributed to a
high degree. Continue to hit the shooting ratio target of 10.1 with another 12 minutes
of footage. 23 minutes of footage for 4 minutes of film has been captured and saved
successfully. Reshoots have been conducted successfully, however, there may be
continuity issues that may have be masked in postproduction.

Reasons for successes:

All equipment such as camera, mini dolly and tripod were reliable and used effectively
to capture steady well-framed shots of subjects. Extras contributed and followed
instructions from the director no disputes occur as well as no one harmed during the
cause of shooting.

Any changes made to the product as a result of the above:

No changes will be made to the product from the results above. Keeping to production
schedule and finishing production by 15th May 2017.
