filming part 3
Today we set out to film are whole film in one day and got permission to take a camera off-site. We had new actors. The only main difference in the plot this time is that the main character Scott is no going to work he is instead going to meet his mates for a cinema outing
By filming the whole main body of the film in one day will be particular useful to us when editing because it should have eliminated the chance of different cars in the area ruining our film's continuity.
We was able to get new shots than before:
close ups
extreme close ups
over the shoulder shots
mid shots
long shots
we wanted to create are own dolly but not have this laying around, so we create are own, by using a lift to carry one of our members around during filming.
However when we told are teacher about are made up dolly, she was very worried about are health and safety at the time but at least we got the main filing done.


Here are some screenshots of are filming :

OH NO PROBLEMS
Today our group was scheduled to take the camera off site to complete the filming, However the weather has completely turn upside down from the last time we were filming.The weather last week was bright and sunny unlike today which is dull and breezy. We will have to wait until the weather has changed back to sunny, so that we can start filming again.By waiting until the weather has change we will not be messing up the continuity of are film , however we will be set back in time meaning we will behind and will need to catch up quickly.
Later on that week , we had notice that are lead actor jevan undertook a makeover which included having his hair in a different way to what it was when we were filming the scenes for the short film. We will need to have a production meeting to work what we have to do to solve this big problem on are hands
Jevans new hairstyle is similar to the artist Omarion However his old hair style is use to be like the rapper Da brat which is single plaits. This can be seen below:

Editing sessions 1
Today my group sat down in front of are assigned mac and started editing our footage. We had a few problems. so as we filmed the scene moving cars came and went. This messed with continuity of are film.


We decieded to re-do the opening to our film because we managed to put together a minute footage.

Filming two steps behind part 2
Today we we did another scene and made some major changes to the location. The reason why this decision was made was because the teachers wanted us to have the location local.The original location would of been to far and with new shiny cameras, it would of been un safe for us as young adults by are self's filming. If we did continue with this plan we would be targeted because of the camera and that was not risk that the teachers wanted to take. so we decided to chose the park near our school. We finished most of our film however we ran out of time so we didn't complete the task that we set out to do that day.We will have to schedule another day to film and to make sure we pick a day with great weather that matches the one had the last time we were filming.
We notice that by changing to park we could get a lot more shots done like
over-the-shoulder
close ups,
tracking reverse shots.
we also looked out how we could use the park for example the trees and the corners could work in are favour when filming are film because once again it will build up more suspense. Looks like everything happens for a reason.

Filming two steps behind part 1
As soon as we got into class today,we got down to filming a scene.The scene that was filmed was the flashback one. In this scene the wallet dropper is having a flashback of when he was last attacked. We were very happy because we had the chance to film different shots and angles. We filmed in a area that is just outside are school meaning, if anything goes wrong we will be able to correct it quickly and not go out of are way to do so.
