Due to the tape containing the original film becoming corrupted on the computer (even though it looked fine on the camera), the media piece had to be reshot. Bradley Dalton and Jake Smallwood did the acting once again and I worked behind the camera alongside Josh Hanson, who was absent when the original media piece was shot. Like the first attempt we had to experiment with the 180 degree rule, match on action and shot-reverse-shot. There was no mise-en-scene needed for the media piece, the lighting was high-key and the only equipment we needed was the camera and various objects in the classroom (such as a table and chairs).
Moral from today: Check to see whether the tape will work on the computer (check for signs of corruption), start recording just after action is said and finish filming as soon as cut is said (without them being heard on the finished piece).
