A Dilemma

Half way through our filming it started to become really tricky. This is because we were filming in school, therefore it had to be done after school but the actors we were using were not that reliable and the days we could film, sometimes they couldnt. This is where we had to make a big decision as we didnt have long left before all of our filming had to be done.
We came to the conclusion that, from what we have filmed already we would have probably of only used a few seconds of that in our actual film. Therefore, meaning if we got some new actors then we wouldnt have lost much. Here we decided to use Josh and Avey. I think this was a really good decision as they are both really reliable and they make it look really well on screen. We have now caught up and have pretty much got all of our filming done.

starting filming

Our first day of filming went well and we managed to get some good shots taken of the scenes we wanted. To make sure that we had some good shots to use in our film, we decided to take a couple of shots of one bit from a variety of angles so that when we come to put it together we will have a choice in how we show it.

Our next day of filming we done alot more filming, and we were getting more up to date on how much we were doing each time we were filming. Therefore, it felt like we were getting on top of things. However, when we came to put it up to start editing, we realised that for some reason our light had changed between the two days of filming. This meant we would have to do it again. It taught me that we have to take a picture of how it looked the first time so that we know what it should look like the next to keep the continuity going in our film.
