Challenges And Successes
Challenge 1
One of the hurdles I encountered was when I forgot to bring along the filming lights a gear needed for the shoot setup. This error came to light upon reaching the location and discovering that the prearranged lighting, for the scene was not available. The absence of the lighting arrangement would have resulted in footage that lacked the intended atmosphere and polished look.I had to act to sort out the problem by arranging for the lights to be urgently sent to the filming location; this led to a hold up, in the schedule. During the wait for the lights to reach us at the site the team had to adjust by focusing on tasks, like rehearsals and setting up camera angles. This situation highlighted how crucial it is to inspect all equipment before heading out for a shoot. It also taught me the importance of creating a checklist to prevent oversights in projects.
Challenge 2
The spot where I filmed had an old school vibe that matched my projects theme perfectly.It's downside? The lack of airflow made it sweltering despite the fans and all the lights and people, on set. The high temperatures made it tough for my cast and crew to concentrate and stay motivated, on set due to discomfort caused by the heat waves intensity. Moreover the applied makeup on the actors started smudging from sweat leading to touch ups that slowed down filming and added stress for both the makeup artists and actors. This situation taught me the importance of considering not the appeal of a location but also its suitability and convenience, for the teams well being.
Challenge 3
Coordinating makeup consistency, over two filming days presented a challenge for the project team; ensuring that every aspect of the actors’ looks. From foundation and eye shadow to lip color. Remained perfectly in sync, between the shooting days to uphold continuity throughout the scenes. On the day of filming scenes, with makeup looks required taking detailed photos and notes to recreate them precisely on the following day.This meticulous approach aimed to maintain consistency but posed challenges due to the time consuming nature and potential variations in appearance that could affect scene continuity.Additionally the need for preparation before filming sometimes caused delays, in starting the shooting process.
Challenge 4
During the editing phase of my project work I faced challenges handling the shots I had taken during filming.I found that the final duration of the project was longer than I had anticipated which led me to make some choices on which scenes to remove.Striking a balance, between the progression of the story and preserving its core message proved to be a yet insightful lesson.
