ERT- evaluation of filming 4/3/10

Today was our first day of filming so it was very experimental with many of te shots we were amiing to use. We tried out different angles, movement and lighting in order to get everything the exact way we wanted it. We filmed the second half of our opening sequence which include 4 different locations (Bedroom, Bathroom, Hallway and Outside). We found shotting outside the hardest because of inconviences such as cars and people passing by, however with many different takes we managed to avoid such hassles. As well as trying to get all the shots done quickly so there wasnt a dramatic change in lighting.
Whilst filming we thought of other angles that would be more effective than what we had originally planned in our storyboard, as being in the location with our actor allows you to think clearer. So although we changed our minds and got other ideas we took many different shots so that we could compare them on a bigger screen and check that they all fit together well.

Over all i think our first filming session was a major success and hope the rest goes as smoothly.

  1. I agree. I think we may need to do some of the outside ones again, because we wanted to try one of the shots again but with her skipping this time.
    Also, I know we were originally going to have her brushing her teeth but maybe the getting dressed one is better. If we want the teeth one, we may need to film her going into the room and putting the doll down or else it looks a bit random, if the doll is suddenly there before she is. Bad continuity.
