Monday 17th of March filming

I filmed today on the Monday and had planned to film three scenes, film two in the morning and one at the end of the day.

I woke up late today which wasn’t a good start, because of leaving planning late and going to sleep late, so I got to college later and was going to star filming and I wanted to get some elastic bands for my green screen scene so I went to Tesco and they had none there but I got some Chocolate minstrels and drink to keep the cast going and keep them filming.

I went back to film but the green screen and Mac rooms and editing rooms, all my locations were full, and I chose Monday to do these scenes on the basis that they would be empty, although at the time I didn’t realise that I could of kick out another group that was doing a stop motion project.

I finally got to film in the green screen room and my cast together like and was going through a scene but people kept coming in which I had to tell them to be quite, and some left but what I didn’t realise was, is that Sarah's publishing course were gonna come in to do a lesson there, which I didn’t know was gonna happen, so we couldn’t finish the scene, and again all the computers are being used so we couldn’t film.

When we got another chance to film in the green screen room again we started but filming was slower because of concentration loss. We did a bit but still haven’t finished the scene and we had to shoot again because the microphone wasn’t on so no sound was being recorded. And then Sarah had another lesson in there so we had to leave. We went to another class but no computer were available and my actor didn’t want to shoot in a busy classroom. So I said to one of my actor he could leave and I would film close up with the other but no chance to film ever materialised.


And when I went home and looked at the footage it turn out to re recorded over some, which meant a some of our footage got lost. So we didn’t get anywhere near our targets of filming done and will have to refilm on another day.

Today taught me that I have to keep allot more concentration, maybe have more people crew to help out, Keep vigilante on microphone and playback, and make more time to prepare a shot because of this, also to have more of a plan on booking a classroom, which I would of done had I know you could, but this is my fault for not finding out, also to keep people out of the room for the comfort and to keep the concentration of my actors and also I need to plan out extended filming days as I will have to film nearly all scenes again tomorrow.
