Filming: Day Two

The second day was more productive in terms of filming. Having booked the room the previous day we were given the time and space to get a large majority of our filming done. Although we were delayed in our filming as a result of another group pleading to use the room, we still managed to get a large chunk of our filming done. We firstly unveiled the green screen (right) and began setting up the area in order to prepare for our filming.

As we prepared to film we realized that the green screen was slightly smaller than anticipated. This meant we going to have to modify our opening to suit the scene. We firstly decided that we weren't going to be able to film the full long shot that we had planned and decided to use a mid long shot instead. We then also realized that weren't going to be able to pan up into an open area when showing some titles, so we instead zoomed into an open area.

After this realization we all gathered the props and costumes we had brought so that we could get “suited and booted” ready for shooting.



We then prepared the camera by zooming in to the appropriate shot and setting up the white balance. As soon as this camera preparation was down we were ready to start shooting. In the lesson we managed to shoot about half the footage we needed, resulting a very productive session.
