Filming days: Production

For our main film, we filmed over a two day period. The first filming day consisted of us filming our initial plot with the original script, props and actors. We covered all the scenes and shots we wanted to include. However when watching the clips back, we thought it was difficult to make sense of the plot/narrative. In addition, the filming that we did was too lenthy to all be included in the film. We found that a lot of the lines and directioins that we had initially planned, were too and therefore we filmed again. We also found that in the first set of clips, the lighting was very dark and it was difficult to work with. Therefore when filming again, we changed the lighting. The three pictures on the left are shots from the first filming day and the two on the right are from the second day. As you can see the shots are very different. They are clearer and have a lot better lighting.

Originally, our actors in the film were Oliver Poole and Martha Holley-Moore.  However after our first filming day we didn't think they worked well together and therefore we swapped Martha Holley Moore for Emily Sommerfeld and Ollie Poole for Harry Beck.  We thought that this worked better on screen and also it was a lot easier to work with as if there was any additional shots we needed to do. It was simpler getting everyone in one place.
