Filming overview


30/11/11

We went to for our first shoot to various locations around London Bridge and Bank. We took the equipment necessary to film, 3 lights, 1 camera, a directional mic and appropriate tripods. We had our cast with us and took half an hour to prepare for the days shooting and in total took us 90 minutes to complete a large proportion of our filming. One of our locations is an abandoned car park located in bank, here the lighting was clear and strong and therefore translated well to our film and also as the place was away from the public we were allowed to have many different various shots. We managed to experiment with lighting and sound, the directional mic provided clear sound for speech and ambient noise such as footsteps. 

We attempted handheld camera work for a few scenes such as when the masked figures are chasing emma, this allowed us to capture the movement of the main character more effectively rather than having a static camera. In conclusion the filming day went successfully with little hinderence or faults with our equipment and allowed us to have a further understanding of the camera also and the use of light to create a different atmosphere for our filming.
