Coursework - Filming Day #2

The second day of filming was a bit more productive and we managed to complete the first bit of the opening sequence. At the start we did have a problem as other people needed to use the area which we needed for filming so we were delayed in that. Also there was quite a delay at getting our camera meaning we were 45 minutes behind schedule. Either way eventually we got somewhere.

The first step was to get the area ready and reveal the green screen. This was very simple to do as it was just a matter of pulling the rope and revealing the screen. We did however run into a bit of a problem as the initial idea to me, was that the green screen runs across the floor but it did not. We then as a group decided to change the angle of the camera and not point it towards the floor.








There after we all got into costume and character. This was not very time consuming as it was just a matter of putting on a few clothes. No much effort and time was taken into this, as soon as costume was on we got ourselves into character and promptly started to film.









As i have experience with using a DSLR i knew how to use the camera so i did tell the rest of the group to how to white balance,  zoom and focus. This was not very difficult and they understood straight away. As soon as the camera was ready and in place we began our filming straight away. We managed to complete the first 3 pages of our storyboard with-in the 45 minutes we had and i say we done that pretty well.
There was some what of a problem at the start but we got through it, hopefully we will be able to finish filming with-in the next 2 filming sessions. So far so good.
Overall 2nd day could of gone better but now that we know what we are doing i am sure that the 3rd day would be perfect.
