What we learned from Amar

From having carefully analyzed Amar's presentation, we now have a better understanding of just how important it is to consider any problems with a location. For example, it helps to look at weather reports to give you an idea of what the weather will be like so that whilst you are filming, the weather doesn't mess up the continuity of your production or provide any serious hazards for your group in the location(s) you've chosen to film in.
It is also important to consider other commitments that your group members have besides your filming, because from this presentation it has been made obvious to us that you have to think about this if you are filming during a weekend or after a day at college.
We also learned the importance of planning ahead by using new methods of planning that we were shown in the presentation such as a script and a location recce. Before we saw the presentation though, we didn't think that a script could have anything else in it apart from the actors lines or actions, but in actual fact the main purpose of a filming script is that it contains a completed narrative with different words coloured differently according to what shots will be used in that part of the film.
This can help groups to be much more efficient when filming, because not only do the actors know exactly what they are doing, but so does the person working the camera.
