One thing that Helen told us about was the eye line. We didn't get our interviewees eye lines right so they look strange in some shots, its not to noticeable but it is to the trained eye.
This is an example, of how Sam's eye line does not look quite right in a shot:
Another lesson that we learnt was about framing the shot up properly, We do have some good shots that the framing looks really good, but then there are other shots, where there is just too much head space and empty space that is doing nothing for the shot.
Example of good framing:
Example of bad framing:

Good reflections here - the best way to learn as you know is by 'making mistakes' - docs are not easy and if you aim for a highly polished product it takes a lot of effort to ensure everything is perfect. Controlling the environment is key, as is planning, but I think you have learnt some great lessons from doing this unit. Well done
