Thriller Task Filming - (Friday, 26/02/2010)

Today, Shaun, Alex and I began filming the first scenes for our thriller. We used the Sony (Blue) camera and the field setting in order to do a pan shot of Shaun's feet, and an establishing shot of the 'forest'. I filmed the pan shots of Shaun's feet, which will be the second scene in the sequence, and Alex filmed the establishing shots, which will be the first scene in the sequence.

I believe the filming went well as we managed to get five or six takes of the pan shot in order to ensure we had a good take, as well as at least four takes of the establishing shot. We also recorded non-diegetic sound of twigs snapping so that we could add this to the pan shot.

Some problems we encountered whilst filming included the weather conditions, which included cold, rain and wind, which was, although useful for our filming environment, did not actually help the filming situation, and made it incredibly difficult to film whilst the camera was wet and we were cold.

Finally, we captured our footage to our T drive (media4), and learned how to separate clips so that it would be easier to edit together.

We will continue filming next Wednesday (03/03/2010) after school, and will be filming the indoor shots and the scenes with the house.
