Second Filming Shoot

Our second actual filming shoot took place on sunday the 25th of January, we had tried to meet up on the 22nd of january, but because of lack of members, it ended up not going ahead. One of our group members was absent, but this didn't affect our shooting. We re-shot all of our wood shots, all in good lighting and this time it didn't take as long to shoot as because of the experience of our last shooting, not as many mistakes were made. We then after the wood shots were made, filmed in Amber's house for the flashback scenes, where we had Tad Finney play the Dad and Lia Stubbings play the younger version of the main girl in our opening. The only problem that occured was that the camera ran out of battery, so to improvise, we used Amber's own camera to film with that, even though we have the footage, the quality isn't good enough, and so we shall have to re-schedule for another film shoot for all of the flashback scenes.

First Filming Shoot

On thursday the 15th of january me and my group went out and did our first filming shoot after school. All of us went along with our main actress, Maizie Cast and did the main wood shooting near Amber's house. I thought the shooting went well, all of us contributed and most of the shots got done, although we had to leave after about an hour and a half as it became dark very quickly, which meant the lighting for the filming wasn't good enough. When showing our shots to Mr Michie, we had a good response, saying that our mise en scene and costume was good, but the shots were a little shaky and were too short. So, because of this we will have to reschedule another time to re-shoot our footage and shoot the rest that we hadn't already. This will give us the oppurtunity to improve on our shots.
