Filming

Yesterday we did our first piece of filming outside. At first it was hard for us all to decide on a day to get free in order to film during the day, as we are all busy during the weekends from work, and school during the week. Luckily yesterday had some free hours! The weather was just right, yet it was a cause for concern when we filmed under some trees, this would change the lighting which can be faulty. This is why it was important that we had the correct angle of the camera and place to film. We also began to use more of a suttle scene, with people strolling past the camera as if it wasnt there. We also used a friends dog, Millie. however this took us slightly longer than what it wouldve taken becuase Millie was too interested in what was going on around her. On the other hand, this could be more of a natural shot. Another prolem we had was getting Millie to walk on her own, dragging the lead handle. To overcome this we called her to keep her walking on her own and simple going to take away the sound. It had taken over 2 hours for us to get the shot tht we wanted all toehter, asking people in the park to be our extras and getting the angles we wanted.

  1. You show a clear awareness here of the difficulties even natural surroundings can cause to the lighting. What have you learnt about the time it takes to do things? Hopefully this will help you in the next 2 weeks.

  2. I have learnt that if we need to do any more filming outside, its vital that we film in the same weather conditions and place. Otherwise it would be noticable when edited into the film opening. AT the start, I underestimated how long it would take to film out outside.
