Re film

Today was our first filming day after the robbery incident and also after changing our story because we felt that our other storyboard was quite difficult , AS school was our main location we stayed after school where we were to shoot our ‘walking in to school hand held scene’. I thought this was a great location as it shows that the main areas of where the kid is getting bullied and this could apply to real life situations. Due to some of our shootings being outdoors the fact that our first location was outdoors we wanted to do it while the weather was calm without wind, rain or snow. The preparation of getting used to the cameras took quite a long time, as well as, despite having our location, finding the correct area that would have enough light and room to fit our actor and props also took some time. however as we changed our whole story board it took us a while to discuss everything. today we got most of the filming done which was quite impressive.

for one of the scenes we needed it to be just before dark At around 4pm we was ready to shot, as it was winter it had got dark a lot quicker than we had anticipated and the lack of natural light prevented any of our shots to be visible enough to see the action within the scene. However, it was a learning tool that when we come back to do that scene again, we would come slightly earlier to give ourselves more time to set up, and to come with a plan of what we want to film.
