Day 1: Friday 7th February 2014: 5:00pm-6:30pm
For this session we filmed the frames 18-23 of our storyboard. We used the following equipment:- Tracking Dolly
- Camera 3
- Tripod 3
- External Sound Recorder 1
We shot in the science room S4 and science corridor.
Most things went well however after reviewing what we filmed certain scenes we think must be reshot at a later date to make them perfect.
What went well:
One thing that went well during this filming session is the tracking shot we used in the scene where our protagonist first sees the box containing the gun. It was one of the only shots we filmed in this session that took only one take to film and it allowed a pretty good match-on-action to follow.
The actor who acted out our Antagonist helped us out a lot by listening and getting on with the job, while matching our intended look for our Antagonist perfectly.
The group worked well as a team, each person focusing on their assigned job and helping each other with very few arguments or mood-swings.
What could of been improved:
There was constant hindrance throughout today's session caused by one of actors, which prevented us from getting some distant shooting done, however near the end he did attempt to redeem himself and pick up the pace.
The first shot of our session was a failure. It took us 8 takes to get the perfect one; mainly through instructions not being followed properly. The first attempt was faulty due Alex (Protagonist) walking to fast for the camera. This continued till roughly the fifth take where it switched to the camera being moved around him to quickly. The eighth take was successful :).
