Film Shoot Day

We filmed yesterday (Sunday 6th) at ........... We arrived at location at 11:00 this was later than intended however we had no access to the premises until Lucy our actress arrived. Filming went well. I mainly directed that day giving camera shots and directions to the cast and crew. Sam helped to slate things and do a bit of sound and camera work and Justin did a lot of sound and camera work.

We changed the script slightly that day due to fact we had trouble with some props which meant we had to cut out the scene where Luke's hand gets stuck in Caroline's hair. We also accidentally missed out the end of the bathroom scene. We were going to add an additional scene however this didn't fit in with the rest of the plot and would of looked out of place possibly ruining the feel of the film we were creating.

We didn't really have any problems yesterday however because we were filmimg for about 5hours+, battery started to get low on both cameras. Luckily we did have chargers for both cameras during scene set up's so we charged the cameras to get them to last for the day.

Since arriving back at school today we have managed to select the best clips of the 7d and have yet to convert and match the sound from the panasonic. The quality of the footage was really good and was increased by lighting. We took some before and after shots to witness the difference. (input picture) I have started to edit together a few clips and add colour grading. This has made a huge improvement to the overall quality and has increased the prossional look we are after.

We have one more shoot left which plan to do shortly. We are now just focusing on editing and finsihing of the poster which we will organise a photo shoot for.

  1. So far I have been very impressed by how your group has been working Ryan, and also by the quality of the footage so far. It is clear that you have benefited from precise planning for the shoot and your cast have been a credit to you all. Am really looking forward to seeing the edit progress and also to showcasing the final product on the big screen!
