I think I could improve in the future by doing more planning such as a script and shotlist as it will help in the execution. I will also try and match clothing to what the characters are wearing in the film as well as get more props. For the sound, I will try avoid voiceovers and keep the volume more consistent.

I have learnt that mise-en-scene is important in film as it is quite hard to film scenes and keep everything consistent such as angles, sound and props. Recreating scenes is difficult especially getting all the right clothing and props that match the original scene. Even learning lines and trying to get it as clean as possible is more difficult than I would have thought and mise-en-scene has showed to be very important in film and tv.
