The Filming Process...

Our original provisional filming date was the 9th of march, however our actress couldn't attend at the last minute due to other college commitments so we had to reschedule to the following thursday, the 16th of march. I feel we were well prepared for filming and we had done all the recces, call sheets and risk assessments necessary. The first location we filmed at was the audition room.

At first, progress was slow as we set up and established where the camera was going to be in relation the the actress, what we wanted the actress (Lauren) to do and adjusted the room to fit the script/storyboard. We could draw on our past experience of making a previous film for the preliminary excercise and knew exactly what was involved with the process, we also had a much better idea of what it was we wanted to produce this time around. This was our preliminary excercise: "The Meeting" -

All members of the group had a very clear image about what we want our finished film to look like which we put onto paper by doing scripts and storyboards. When filming last week, we follwed these fairly closely although we did alter some angles slightly. Unfortunatly we ran out of time and were losing light, so decided to reschedule for the next filming session which will be this thursday the 25th of march. Tomorrow we plan to capture the last of the needed shots so that next week we can properly start the editing process.
