Filming


As we have media lessons on a Monday and Tuesday we took this opportunity to go off campus and get some filming done; on Monday morning we spend the first two hours doing scenic shots and focused mainly on them as the actors weren't available to film as they had lessons, we got a lot of good shots of various features in the abandoned area. We shot more than we needed but we wanted to have a safe amount of footage as we wanted to focus solely on the actors the next day. On the Tuesday unfortunately I was ill and unable to film but Beth and Heather went ahead as planned and filmed the shots with the actors as they were all available on the Tuesday afternoon. As a whole, after we tested and deleted clips, we have 32 clips of footage so we have more than plenty to work with and so hopefully we won't have to go back and film anything extra, which was our intention when filming so we have a good amount of footage. The photo included is a screenshot of one of the scenic shots that I like the most, when trimmed, and I mentioned the feature of the hanging barn door in one of my previous posts, we managed to capture it in the wind like when we saw it the first time and hopefully there will be a place for it in the opening sequence once we begin the editing process.
As for equipment, we took with us a tripod, a sound recorder and a camera; no lighting was needed as we had plenty of natural light and there was also no outlet near by anyway which isn't very practical but it didn't effect our production and aims.
