Film Diary: First day of filming

On Saturday 18th November 2017 we did our first session of filming. We filmed the beginning and final scenes of the video.

The filming went successfully as we got all the shots we needed for the beginning and end of the video. On the day, our directing skills were very good, and we worked well with our actor in order to get the shots we wanted. Our camera skills were also sound, as we got a wide range of shots and managed to to get good quality videos that will link together seamlessly.We will need to make sure we carry these skills through to our next day of filming in order to keep the quality up.

Although there were a lot of positives to take from our filming, there is still a lot we can improve on. Our planning could have been improved, as we weren't always sure what shots to take next. We had completed our storyboard and shot list however it wasn't always easy to stick to it. Furthermore, we could have thought a bit more about some of the roads that we were filming on, as we had trouble filming on the bumpy roads. In preparation for our future filming, we are going to make sure we go into it knowing exactly what we are filming. This will help us get the highest quality production.
