Filming Begins..

  
For the last two days we have began filming some of our shots from our storyboard. We came up with a schedule and planned out the order of each shot so that shooting ran smoothly. This helped us organise what shot came where and saved us a lot of time. Throughout these two days we have been filming the kitchen and the car shots. This generally went quite well but organisation could have improved by informing the actors/actresses specifically what they had to do in advance so that we didn't have to spend time explaining to them. For each shot we have been shooting for longer than necessary so that we have enough footage to edit.This way we won't run out of shots in case we delete them and then find that we need them at a later date. After each shot we also watched it immediately after to ensure that mise en scene,lighting, props and lip syncing was working successfully. The picture above shows our actor James watching the shots back to also gain his feedback and opinions on how successful they are. Continuity was also a key element so we had to ensure our characters were wearing the same outfits and props were in the same location.
