Flow Chart of Production Role Roundup

When we first viewed the clip on youtube, we thought it would be tricky but a bit hard. But it was actually quite difficult to film it and get the shots and lighting right. At the beginning, when we were filming Livvy as Mr Shneebly and the lighting was very bright and white. Then when we cut and filmed Spencer, the lighting was completely normal. This happened because we didn't correct the contrast, which has now helped me to always check the lighting before filming something. We also could have worked on our continuity better as well. For example, at the end of the clip, when Livvy walks over to Spencer, he has his hand up when she first talks to him, then as we switched the shot, Spencer suddenly had his and down, then switching it back to Livvy, he hand was back up again. We could've improved the continuity in this part of the clip. Overall this was fun to film and put together, but it was much more difficult than we had expected.
