Evaluation of shoot

So today Alli and myself recorded the sound for our project.
We began at about 10.30, and started by recording the spoken word parts of the script. We decided to do this in the kitchen of Alli's flat as it was the quietest and most suitable place for it. The only thing that causes problems here was the fact that the fridge made a buzzing sound. Next time we will have to record some where completely silent, maybe the performance space at SIF. We recorded each piece twice to make sure we are fully covered for the edit. most of the pieces were not either over or above the 30s target, this is as learning curve as we now know how important rehearsals are for making sure everything is on time.
We moved on them to our list of sound effects to record. The list is extensive but because we had listed all of them on a checklist and had colour coded them or where we should record them it meant that everything ran smoothly. There was no running to and fro or faffing around looking for props or going back because we had forgotten to record something.
I feel we worked well as a team, we both took an even share of the recording and actually making the sounds. This was a good way to work as it meant we both have equal input and get equal experience in the field. It also contributed to how smoothly it went. The organisation was key and although there are still things I have learned from this shoot, it did for the most part go exactly according to plan. This for me them has proved what I already know, which is that planning is key.
