Preliminary Task - Filming

The filming process for me, was a challenge in some places. For example it was hard to find  the perfect spot in which to film our production as not all of our actors had the same time available, however eventually, when we did find a perfect time to begin filming it became much easier as we had planned, very efficiently;

• The shots we were going to film
• How they looked
• Where they took place
•  How long they would last
• The script for the actors
• Location and positioning of actors

Once we began filming we did encounter a few minor problems, and these were as follows;

• A noisy film set, background noise
• Some people wanted to get through the area in which we were filming
• The actors began to forget their lines, which in turn took a long time to film these shots and in one case we had to film to separate shots in order to get the lines in
• The corridor in which we filmed was hard to fit everything into, however we got by this in the end
•  Towards the end of our filming we realised we had a short amount of time left and had to perfect every shot the first time round in order to finish

However we managed to get over each of these small hurdles and complete the filming. Unfortunately, when we began to edit we discovered we had missed a shot that was quite important and so had to film this, however this was quick and easy to achieve and was filmed in a matter of minutes.

The role that I took up in this process of the production was, Camera Man, with Lauren being the Director. I believed this worked very well as I was much more confident with the camera and Lauren was a very good Director and told me exactly where I needed to be in order to get the shots she wanted and if anything was wrong with the shots I let her know so we could make any necessary changes.
