From this experience I learnt that blocking out shots is very important, the slightest thing such as which direction your characters walk in can change a lot about the film. We will take extra time blocking out shots for our final film. For this reason it is important to visit your location before you start shooting. Another reason that makes this important is sound. It is impossible to tell what a location will sound like if you have never been there. For instance, when we filmed the Lenny we didn’t realise that construction was happening in the area. There was a lot of intermittent noise that we had to film around which made things a lot more difficult. Because of unpredictable sounds like this it is also important to record an atmosphere track with the mic to use in the editing process.
