during the editing process I realised that the all the footage that we recorded has a slight colour issue. All the footage for some reason had a green hue to it that made all the footage look washed out. Thankfully it was easily resolved during the edit by colour correct.

** Other comments/concerns

  • With regards to production set up, we were able to arrive on location on time but he had some issue with the SD cards that we were using, which then became a hassle because we had to clear the SD card that we had. We were unsuccessful with doing so with meant we had to buy a new SD card in the middle of our shoot, with took time out of our shooting time.
  • Keeping control of sound because we were in an open environment that had music playing, students walking past the market to get to their next class and we were next to the university canteen; so being mindful of the ambient sound was a concern.
