Day 2 filming

Day 2 and were halfway through our filming. This is going to be the main segment of our opening clip and here's an update into what went down before filming. Here's another video diary for you guys enjoy!




Technical difficulties:
  • Battery went low but it was alright since we finished the shot.
Lighting:
  • It was going good until our last frame when it started to get dark, so we had to use the lamppost light to make the shot work
Who was in charge of what?
  • Richard was the main cameraman.
  • I helped film one shot because we needed steady hands since we forgot the tripod.
  • Deon and i directed and he became a human tripod for one scene.
Filming issue:
  • It wasn't till after we filmed everything when Richard (Alfred Hitchcock junior) decided to check each shot and realised he hadn't actually filmed one of the scene but rather caught us celebrating for 30 seconds because we thought he did it.
  • Because the scene Richard forgot to shoot was taken in daylight we couldn't refilm it on the same day because it was dark by the time we finished.
Props:
  • We messed up by not remembering to collect the Tripod out of one our teachers, Mrs Smythes office. I guess me and Deon could be the blame for it but we didn't panic and with last minute thinking came up with the idea to use Deon as the tripod or Dual pod since he only has two legs. Because he was tall and we needed a high shot we put the camera on his head and i worked really well.


Costume:
  • All the actors wore the correct colour clothing.
Location:

  • Richard again was in charge of the location and found us the perfect place which was a park/forest at the back of St Ignatius secondary school. Here's a part of it below.




A few pics of us before filming:

Us discussing a few things before actually filming, so we get everything right.

Since Richard forgot to press play and film the shot, he's agreed with me and Deon to re-film that one shot along with our actor Abiola tomorow.
