Blog update 9/1/12

Today we met up so we could begin filming for our opening sequence. We wanted to film the parts of Ellie which is being played by Lucy Evers. She was available this day for filming so we arranged to film her parts. Before we started to film, we made a note from our story board and shot list on the pieces we was filming today. We got the camera and the tripod from school and headed to Becky's house where we planned to film. 


We recorded the parts of the film where Ellie is in the bedroom, waking up and getting dressed end running to the station etc. We took turns in using the camera and directing the actors so that we each had a equal oppertunity. For each part we recorded many times so we got the right shot from the angel that looked the best. In our prelim we had to re film a section due to the lighting so we took this into account and recorded them many times so we had the right shot and didn't have to re-record. Once the shots in the bedroom were done, we started filming in the bathroom using the camera as the mirror. We then filmed the shots of her coming out of the door running down the stairs and out of the front as she is late for work. 


We decided to film at Becontree station which ment that we had to get permission, we asked the worker and he was okay with it. Becky took the camera and filmed Lucy getting on the train as it leaves the station then films her getting off at her destination running up the stairs towards work. This shot completed the filming for the day which had taken up about 3 or 4 hours of the day. 


Overall the progress that the group have made today is positive and we have successfully filmed the parts that we planned. We took into consideration errors from the pre-lim when filming and used them to improve the use of the camera and recording in our actual piece. 


We now need to film the classroom scenes, Jessica's parts and start the editing process.
