23rd of April Filming

We decided to film our biggest action scene of our film. which is a chase involving two first diploma students, played by Ashley and Dudley getting chased by Miles and James, which involved various locations and alot of shots, and we manage to finish this scene with in 1 and a half hours, but because here was action and multiple people helping us and acting, concentration was a big issue and at the end it was very hard to get across what i wanted them to do, but after an ambitious scene we manage to get what we wanted and after some editing it looked ok, but there was a problem that the tape got dirty because there was no case to put the tape in, so when we captured, the sound and image quality slightly diminshed but it can be masked using editing.

Filming on the 22nd of April

I filmed on the 22nd of April in a bid to finish my drama of pretty soonish, and we have only a few week to finish and hand it in so i needed to do it, i left it for a few weeks because i thought miles and james would be filming and although the filmed a little i still could of filmed mine in the caps , but anyway filming on the 22nd gave me time to plan so this is how it went.

I wanted to do at least three scene which would be my key scene and i booked out time in greenscreen room to do it, which i did, and we managed to get three scene near to done, only the last part on the third needs finishing but i have to do it later in the day, we did voiceovers, for trackiing shot which i think worked well, i used master shot and close up to get a range of coverage in my film,
One problem though which keeps buggin me is that i never put on the right aspect ration, i always forget so some shot i had to redo and just crop in editing.

I think Miles performed well, but James Brown need some time to get in the role and at first was extremely reluctent to get into the role, but after some discussion and help from miles and me he got into the role well and even had the confidence to do some of it without script.

and in evaluation of the day i believe that we did well because we filmed most of the film now and have a few scene to go but we did all the dialogue heavyscenes and have only 4 scenes to film which are action based with little dialogue.
