Life on Mars- Reflection

Carrying out the Life on Mars task was a challenge for me. This was due to that we had to re-create the shots and to ensure that when editing the sound matches with the mise-en-sense. As a group I believe that we carried out the task very well as we triumphed to solve our shooting and editing problems. We had numerous issues while shooting the shot, such as the first shot.


When we started to film the  first shot by positioning the camera the right way up , however when we referred back to our shot by shot Life on Mars sheet we realised that we have positioned the camera incorrectly. That the shot that we are men to replicate it rotated to the right. Another challenged that the grouped faced were the conditions when filming. In order to get the first few shots we had to lay on the concrete floor which was cold, dirty and wet holding the camera by hand, as a result we took turns in filming the first few shots. This way the shots turned out more clearly, as to having one person lying on the concrete floor shaking the camera due to the uncomfortable conditions. Another advance that we got from taking turns was that everyone had a chance to work with the camera (gaining experience) as well as sharing the work load.
