Filming Day 1

Today we had an early start so that we could get our film filmed for Fridays lecture. We went to our location and started rehearsing, then we started to get our equipment out and discovered that we had not been given a microphone. This set us back a lot because Ben had to drive back and get it. Once we started, things started to go well. We were getting good shots, the actors were doing well and the location proved to be a good choice. Then we started to run out of time and because one of the actors is in a play on Friday, today would have been our last opportunity this week to film him...So we rushed! this caused us to get the worst shots and to be honest nothing flowed. The sound from the buses outside was awful and this meant stopping and starting a lot. Once we got back we decided to watch through what we had filmed and try and edit it. This just proved to us how much rushing it had cost us. Were planning to re shoot everything next week and hopefully spend more time on it.
