Evaluation of sound exercise

Our sound exercise was fairly good, considering we didn't have long to film or plan what we was doing. The plot of the film wasn't the best, it was just a theft. However that wasn't the point of the exercise. The point was to get used to using the mic and learning how to ensure the background noise doesn't interfere with the film. This was tough because we had to make sure we could still be heard but the wind didn't drown us out. We done the best we could, however we had to lower the volume, this makes it somewhat difficult to hear the dialogue at the end. Another problem with the film was when sam swore. He done this because he forgot that i was going to attack him. This had to be beeped out during the editing. All in all i think mistakes were made as it was our first time. However, these mistakes won't happen again as they are easily preventable now we have some experience with the equipment. In addition, it didn't help that the sound man kept changing as we all wanted a turn. This lead to different audio levels which made it strenuous to edit.
