Film Diary: Third day of filming

Today we filmed the majority of our narrative. The filming went fairly well but I feel some of the footage and performers suffered as a result of the cold weather conditions. Originally, we went to a local park in Thornbury to film. There were a few implications which delayed our filming. We required bikes to film on and and to help develop our filming by using bike footage to get more shots, however, we could not use bikes to film because they were left at our old house and we didn't have keys to get in. More implications were down to the weather. As soon as we got the camera out to start filming, it started to rain and we didn't have a cover for it. This meant we had to delay our filming to protect the camera. On review, this was actually a good thing that it started raining because we had time to edit our idea on what to do as a result of not using bikes, which we had planned to use. Overall, I think the shooting went fairly well and we filmed everything we wanted to do.
We then went on to the industrial estate on the other side of Thornbury. This filming went well as we didn't have to change much to our idea. This allowed us to be confident on the camera and we filmed this piece quicker than the previous scene. Also, our actors felt more comfortable in front of the camera in this scene which enabled us to film in less takes. Also, as it was freezing cold, our actors didn't want to stay out much longer so that's maybe why they took it more seriously. This scene consisted of two people spray painting a wall and then getting kicked out of the area by a member of public.
Furthermore, we could not film the third scene, to do with the fire because of the rain we encountered. The rain obviously made the floor and wood wet or damp meaning we could not start a fire. This isn't a major problem because we have enough time to film this along as the rest of the week is fairly dry, otherwise we may have to think about making a new narrative part to put in as a replacement.
Overall, the days of filming went really well and is now available for editing together. Although there were a few implications, we managed to adapt to these and overcome the the problems we faced.
