From the start, I saw that the location was very bland and dull. I was pleased with the church, as it helped to show the reason why the boy was not enjoying himself. However, after he left the church, the scenery was very one dimensional, and the route he took was very dull. The reason for this was that he simply skated along a straight path, that for the most part was empty.
Another problem that I faced, and was perhaps the most important change I will have to make was the fact that the boy I used to skate in my video was a very poor skater, and seemed to wobble every time he pushed the skateboard. In the next cut of the film, I am going to film someone who has a lot more skating experience who has skated in tournaments before.
For the most part, the camera was static, and there as not a large enough variety of shots that I used. This was the case as a result of under planning the whole shoot. I did not think in advance of how I could best represent the vibrancy of the sport, and show the athletic ability of the skaters. I believe that now that I have planned further in advance, and in more depth, I can get a wider variety of shots that will create an effective and professional look to the film.
In the post production front, I was pleased that my soundtrack (Run Boy Run by Woodkid) suited the mood and genre that I was trying to achieve in the film that I will create. One area that I can improve on the editing front is lining up the climax of the film with a suitable note in the soundtrack.
Although the camera appeared to have a blurry appearance on the shots for the practice shoot, I have since fixed the camera in the settings, and the shots are now HD quality.
