Wednesday 28th January;; Filming Lesson!x

For today's lesson we were supposed to go out and film. We collected our stuff we needed; the tri-pod, camera and props which we had left in school and went to meet Lauren to go to our filming destination. When we got there we could see that we were in trouble as the toilet in the cafe which we were filming in were both closed until 12. 

We couldn't film the other scenes which we needed as it was too light out and as we filmed on Monday in a darker light at 3/4 we couldn't risk the error of how our film would look if we changed the times as it would change the whole atmosphere of our film and make it look amateurish. 

The way in which we are going to overcome this is we are going to meet again today at 3 and film up until 5, this should enable us to shoot most of the footage we need for our sequence and hopefully allow us to start editing as soon as possible.

We took the camera and the tri-pod back to the college and started to log and capture the footage we had already shot which will make our editing that much quicker as we would have already done a bit. When watching the clips back we could see that we had shot some really nice pieces and that our framing was good as was the mise - en - scene but we also saw what we need to improve and the various different angles and shots we need to produce during the part of the sequence we had already filmed.

So far i feel confident that we have shot a few good shots but we still need to produce a whole lot more if we want our film opening to have an impact on its audience.
