Planning and Filming

In today's lesson we managed to complete the targets we set ourselves which were to; complete a story board, discuss what camera shots we are going to use and lastly start filming.

 Story Board 1-3













 



























Story Board 4-6




















Steps to take before filming:

• Always use a tripod
• Check that the lens is clean
• Make sure that recording is set to widescreen- 16:9
• Audio is set to the highest
• Manually set white balance each time the camera is moved to a new angle
• Capture 5-6seconds of ambient sound 
• Remember the rule of 3rds

So far we have managed to film Maria- acted by Paige walking down the hall and then we have an action match of her starting to push the door and then entering it on the other side. However we did come across a problem with the idea of having the character of Clarissa turning on a lamp within the room when Maria entered as there are no plugs available in the ideal area for us to film. In order to overcome this we rectified it by having Maria turn on the lights when she walks in.

On Friday we will bring in our props for the rest of filming this being a weapon, and we aim to finish filming and have the clips ready for editing on Monday.
