Main Task- First day of Filming

First day of Filming:

On the first day we decided to film Alicia’s panic scene, some shoots of the moon, clubs scene and finally the walk through the park while she’s going home. We headed straight to South Park were we got three of the scene’s filmed and then went down to Cowley. Where we first argued over which club to film at and finally decided on The Regal. 

Difficulties

These are the following difficulties we found while filming some of our chosen scenes:

• Weather condition (really cold)

• Tripod was really stiff to manoeuvre that caused some of the footage to look shake

• Many distractions were encountered whilst filming e.g. Groups of unwanted students or the general pedestrians

• While filming the scene where she’s walking home, there was a lot of mud in the park, so when filming we had to be well aware and make sure that it was safe for the crew and actors/actresses

When we got back we went through all the footage, but unfortunately the moon scene was unbalanced; so as a result we decided to re-shoot that scene once again before we headed off home.   

Improvements

These are the following improvements we found while filming some of our chosen scenes:

• When filming our final film footage we will make sure that the tripod was stable and manoeuvred properly

• Change the time of filming and set it to when there less distractions from the general public

• Use different route that are less muddy so that it’s safer

• Check weather conditions before filming

• Make our equipment visible to anyone who walks passed so they won’t damage it by mistake

• Have someone to watch the equipment while others are filming or acting
