Filming
Below are some examples of important, but easy to forget, points to succeed in filming an easily analyzed movie.
IMPORTANT POINTS
- Inform persons to be filmed, so the filming doesn’t come as a surprise.
- Focus on the object between the chin and waist and try not to miss any handling.
- Make sure to film the operator's feet when he/she is walking long distances.
- Plan your filming. Look for the optimal positions to film from and follow a couple of production cycles.
- Make a test movie to verify light conditions and camera functions.
- If possible, ask the operator to comment and explain the different operations and problems that can occur.
- Film 1-3 complete production cycles to catch different variations.
DOCUMENTATION
- Film the used method, not the one defined in the instructions and note the difference. We want to analyze and improve the actual method used.
- Make sure that correct production aids are being used, e.g. lifting devices. Remember that the operator might be using a better method than the one defined. If so, make sure it is ergonomic and quality approved.
- Discuss any special cases or extraordinary happenings with the operator.
PRODUCT VARIANTS
- Make complementary movies to cover different product variants.
- Note that there is no difference between assembling a blue or red lid. However, there could be a big difference in handling a big or small lid.
