Filming (Day 2)

Filming, DAY 2

On Wednesday the 17th of December 2014 the group and I met for a second time at my house to continue the filming of our opening sequence, here are some pictures from the day and some feedback as to how it went:

Problems which we faced:

Whilst filming the second section of the opening sequence we faced some difficulties which have affected our original idea. Once watching back what we had filmed we were all dissatisfied with how it had turned out. The lighting for one was not as bright and clear as we needed it and the acting was very hard to execute for our inexperienced actors. In addition the background noise additionally affected the quality of the film. Once we were filming we noticed that the camera only had slightly picked up on our actors voice which again was another issue (as it was a prominent feature).
The mistake which I believe was our worst was, the fact that we strayed from our script and attempted to come up with parts we hadn't rehearsed and thought of on the spot. It made the acting appear tacky.

However, from this I believe that we have all gained knowledge on how to not make the same mistakes we did on this occasion. This has lead for me and the group to re-think our opening sequence and how to display it better.

What went well:

On the day of filming there were also some benefits that came from our shooting. We managed to successfully film the production logo and get a few decent shots that we will be able to use in our opening sequence.

Here is also a schedule of the day:
