Filming Process

Our filming hasn't really gone to plan. Before half term we had everything planned out and we had all our work done in advance. Our first day filming went well and we got all the shots we wanted and we had 16 minutes of footage for a 30 second clip. We were supposed to be filming the next day as well but our actress wasn't available that day so we decided to do it on the next day evening which was the Sunday before we came back to school. By the time we actually got to film it was too late and dark and we couldn't see on the camera. We had to get the camera out to film again but they were none available on the first week so we had to get one out for yesterday, Wednesday 10th November. The camera we wanted wasn't available so we had to use a smaller camera instead.
 On the actual day of our filming we had to change a few things around because of technical issues. Our actress was supposed to be reading the script into the camera but we couldn't get any of the mics to work and we didn't have time to be trying to fix it because it would start to get too dark to film again. We decided that we would go back to Rochelle's house afterwards and get the mics to work and we would record the script as a voiceover. Apart from that we got all the right shots and we shot lots of the same footage but from different angles.
 When we got back to Rochelle's house we managed to get the boom mic working and recorded the voiceover without any problems.
