Day 5: Thursday 13th February 2014: 4:30pm-6:30pm
For this session we filmed the beginning of our film; scene 1-17. We used the following equipment:
- Camera 3
- Tripod 3
- External Sound Recorder 1
- Large Reflector
The location of this filming time was the outside of the science block and its corridor.
What went well:
Certain shots that we filmed had great effects; some happened by pure chance, like the shot 2 when Cameron hesitated with the camera before peeking around the bush; which created a great effect for the point of view shot and the character of the Antagonist because it added to the fact the Antagonist is hiding and secretly watching the Protagonist.
We came in with good moods, BOTH our actors seemed willing to listen and act so we achieved some good footage for our film.
What could of been improved:
There is a big mess up in a couple of our shots where continuity errors have occurred. You can see us in the reflection on the window caused by the lights being on in the corridor and it being dark outside. We only noticed when we imported our footage onto the Mac, so we are going to address it shortly.
The lighting problem was a huge pain because obviously it gets darker and with us talking and discussing what to do, between each shot it was ever so slightly, but mega noticeable, became even darker. In shots 1-3 the sky is incredibly bright while once inside i's incredibly dark. We may need to address this if it looks terrible in our film; hopefully it will look natural been as we started filming in dusk through to night.
