Filming Vlog

Yesterday we finished filming for our film opening. Here is a vlog of the two days we spent filming. Overall, I think we are happy with the footage we got.

This is the first draft of our film opening.

Editing Day 1- Tracking Shots

Today we began to edit our film opening. We wanted to have tracking shots in our opening, however the footage that we got of our protagonist walking out of the house was too shaky and we felt it gave off the feeling that the character was being followed, which is not the plot of our opening. So we are either going to completely scrap the tracking shot or re shoot it from the front of the character.

Filming Day 2 Vlog

Here is the vlog of our day of filming:

Filming Day 2

Today was our second day of filming and overall I feel it was a success. We encountered a few problems, including high wind speeds and near constant dog-walkers but managed to get all the external shots we needed in about 3-4 hours, which meant that our lighting stayed fairly consistent. Here are a few photos of our day, taken by Kirti. Vlog to follow soon.

We have figured out our new filming dates. They are as follows:

Saturday 28th November- internal shots at my house
Saturday 5th December- external shots at our location at Hilly Fields

Filming Dates

We have established which days we will be filming on and they are as follows:

• Saturday 14th November- we will film some establishing shots of Central London
• Saturday 21st November- we will film all external Central London shots such as by St. Paul's Cathedral, Parliament, the Millenium Bridge, the London Eye and the Shard as well as the shot on the train into London. 
• Sunday 22nd November- we will film all internal shots from the start of the film opening as our protagonist gets ready for her job interview, the location for this will be my house.
• Monday 23rd November- we will film the final few shots including an external of Enfield Civic Centre to establish that the location of the interview is a professional building. We will also film inside our school on Monday for the final few internal shots.

Gogglebox Task

Here is a version of Gogglebox that we made, which has helped to improve our editing skills.
