Diary of filming

My group and I had many things to consider for the shooting of our film such as;

  • The Weather. We chose to film some of our movie outside so we had to check the weather forecast frequently for good weather.
  • Dates and Times. We had to choose appropriate days and times which was suitable for all group members plus acting crew.
  • Camera angles. When we arrived at our filming location we had to decide which camera angle we could capture the action best in.
  • Battery Life. We underestimated the time we had that we could use the camera before it ran out of battery so we had to find a plug socket to charge it up which wasted valuable filming time.
  • Costumes and Props. We filmed the scenes over the course of two days and so all costume, props and the setting had to remain the same to keep continuity.
  • The Public. We filmed in an outdoor public area and so we had many people walk through the film shots unintentionally and ask us about what we were doing.  
We encountered many problems during filming in some of the categories above. We had to rethink carefully about many of the shots we wanted to shoot and had to take a break from filming to charge up the camera battery. We considered a lot of this beforehand but we still encountered and resolved a few problems.
