Second day of filming

Second day of filming was a complete success!
I managed to do all of the filming i needed to.
I started at my old high school, using the hall with my mum and brother as actors and some friends in the background. I got a good range of shots, although after looking back there is a few i would have liked to re do but was pushed for time and showed my non experience with cameras as alot of shots were wonky. I then went to the park with both of my male actors playing the park of Michael. Here i took as many diverse shots and different angles as i could and believe i got some really good footage. The actors listened to my direction and did exactly what i wanted them too and pulled it off well and thankfully it did not rain! The difference i made here was once i had filmed a shot i stopped and watched it before moving on. I then completed three takes of my voice over using both actors to see when the footage is put together which works best. After doing this i feel alot more confident and pleased with my end product.

First stages of filming

My first day of filming was a disaster!
I began by going to my old high school to film as this is my location for the picking up of GCSE results. Although due to meetings i was unable to film as i needed to have a particular teacher present. Although we have therefore rescheduled for monday 21st.

Second day of filming, me and my actor went to the park to film some shots on the swing but as it was a sunny day the park was very busy and was not able to fim either.  Although i then decided to make the most of the weather and filmed some weather and cut away shots, that may be useful between the changing of scenes.

Monday 21st i have arranged with the locations and actors to film the whole of my footage, ready to edit on Tuesday.
