Today, we started to film shots from our storyboard that were outside as we do not want to leave these until last due to weather changes and longing out the process. Matt H and Matt B focused mainly on camera work, Lily and I are actually in our final product. I feel that it would be helpful if Lily and I were more clued up about being able to use the camera properly and knowing what to do with it because it would help when only part of our group can attend a filming session as at least one of us would know how to use the camera and to film. Also, knowing how to use a camera would broaden my knowledge of this subject and I would be able to apply this skill in the future during my A-Level in Media.
Time goes by very fast when we film and I think all of us struggle with time keeping. Because we started filming outside first, time was also strickened as weather changes and other people around our location which makes filming look messy and unprofessional. Also, the camera picks up noises from around our location outside which also makes our footage look messy - the sound does not match what is going on in the footage. We have to pick certain times of the day when it would be relatively quiet: before school finishes as children come walking in our chosen outside location and there is normally an increased amount of cars on the road which increase irrelevant noise levels in the background of our footage.
We had to keep revising our storyboard to make sure that we are filming everything that we have drawn out, that we use the correct shots and we are using the technical areas in the correct way. So far, I think that my group handled filming well today but there is still lots to be revised and lots to do. Unfortunately we have left filming a little late, but if we put the hours in we can finish it by the deadline.
