Filming Diary

As i have not got internet at home and most our filming was done over the half term i could not update my progress on my blog as i couldnt access the internet. So i recorded my progress after each filming day on a note pad. This is what i wrote:

Day 1 of filming:
We began our filming today and have already started changing shots, angles and the story. We had predicted that this would happen as the angles dont always work and you find new ones when you reach your destination. The start of our filming did actually start with the drinking of the tea in the kitchin as we arived at Elliott's and wanted to just start. So began by filming the drinking of the tea and the making of it too. The making of the tea hadnt of even been thought of until that moment, so already changes were being made as we began to get creative. We found ways to start transtions within the visuals, for example making the screen go black ready to cut into a new scene. We began to over film and ended up with 20 minutes of footage just for the opening of the video. We were doing well with time and thought we could get some other filming done and as we started we realised the lighting was starting to change so we had to stop.

Day 2 of filming:
We started the travel part today and we found loads of new shots that we could include into the video. Once we excited the train we made our way to the arcade and spent about 20 mins trying to find a good shot to set the arrival at the arcade. We then entered and just went overboard with shots and interesting angles. On the way home we just filmed as much as we could and just forgot about our story board and the shot list we had
