Day 2 of filming

Filming John and Chris scenes on the 14th of March


I decided on the Friday that I would film just 1 scene because we would be doing other work like the stop motion project and also Sarah’s theory lesson, and after we did all that and got ready we decided to do one scene which is the where Chris is going to college and we quickly meet John who is Chris’s friend and they have a quick conversation about the problems of self expression.

I used Kiel and Miles for my Actors of John and Chris. And I used a long shot establishing the scene and medium shot that kind of act as a master shot because it has both characters in, I then just used over the shoulder shots.

I used this because it provide coverage of a small scenes, because it would be quick to do and also because we can film the actor line for line each and the use two track in editing, so it will be easier for me to edit, I also use a number of take on each line as well though so they can get a variety of performance recorded though.

I also used a mike so it would focus on our character and take out any ambient sound.

We were able to film quickly and not take too much of my friends time. but one problem I might of had is that the microphone might of not worked, and although we can here or characters easily speak there is quite a bit of ambient noise and I will have to take a close look when I capture and might use a sound mixing program to make it clearer.

Also one small mistake that happened was when we finished shooting the main scene we thought we get another long shot and medium shot, which we filmed but somehow the microphone was off and there is no sound, but this does not pose too much of a problem because there was no dialogue and we could just film some wind noise and put that on, so all in all we shot another days of filming pretty easily.
