Filming

Today we started filming and managed to do all of the shots that we planned to. We may need to film more once we begin our editing if any shots are missing, or not good enough for the final film.

Disruptions
Whilst filming, we came across a few issues. None of them caused major disruption to our filming, but did cause us to wait longer between shots and to do extra takes of some shots. These were:

• Forgetting lines
• Background interruptions
• Laughing during takes

Solutions


Forgetting lines - This was easily solved for later takes. Looking over our script and doing a few more takes we were able to film the shots we needed without and errors or mistakes within them.

Background Interruptions - Whilst this caused disruptions, it didn't effect the shots themselves. Due to this, the only action we had to take was to wait a few moments before starting each take. Even when people were coming through during a take, they were happy to wait out of shot for a few moments whilst we finished.

Laughing During Takes - Whilst this was an issue, it had the same impact and resolution as the background interruptions. We had to do extra takes to get a good shot, but it didn't have a great impact on our overall filming schedule. Even though it was time consuming, as we clearly knew what we had to film, we were able to make up time and even manage to finish filming in the same day.

Here are some photos of us filming today on the second floor.
