30th January Filming – Exchange
We got to the station on a clear day around 5 pm as it was beginning to get dark, our actor Ben was in the costume we had planned him to wear and we began filming 5.15 pm. We wanted to film at this time because we wanted the footage at night and the take advantage of the artificial lighting. We had no problems with the people getting in the way of our shots and entering the frame, which was why we had planned to film on a Sunday, as this would be a quieter day compared to the rest of the week.
We decided to use our filler lights to enhance the quality of the footage as otherwise the lack of light would have made the filming grainy and unattractive to look at. The lights at times were to bright and therefore cause our actors face to have too much brightness therefore lessening his contrasting features.
We used the small camera attachment microphone for our sound, which was very effective as it meant it cut much unwanted extra sound such as the wind and other people’s voices, it was also very portable and therefore allowed us to film more compared to a larger boom mic, which would have slowed down the process.
We are filming the second half of our opening next week on the 6th February again on a Sunday and at the same time to keep the continuity of the scene, the filming will mainly be inside rather than outside.
