Preliminary Task- Filming

On Monday 5th December Charlie and I finally managed to film. We have tried to film twice before however the actors have cancelled on us last minute both times therefore we did not have time to sort out replacement actors.

We filmed in 3rd lesson in the conference room which I think went pretty well. Using two cameras we managed to get all the filming done in an hour. We did have a couple of issues with the camera as it was quite blurry at times and one of the cameras wasn't charged so we had to film with the production with the charger plugged in which made it quite difficult to film some places were the cable wouldn't reach, this wasn't a huge problem though as obviously we were still able to film.

When we returned to E1 to put the footage on a computer, we out the footage on the computer and discovered when we were watching them that when we were filming either myself or Charlie had pressed stop instead of play which meant that we filmed us discussing what to do and where to film next instead of the actual clips that we wanted. Luckily enough, the usable footage we did get went well together and Charlie made it work by adding some effects and changing the story a little bit.

Preliminary Task- Storyboard

This is our storyboard that Charlie and I made.
