Re-filming part of our film

Re-filming part of our film

A short video diary explaining how we lost part of our film and had to re-film it with less than two weeks until the deadline.

Filming Diary Day 7 - Hitchin

Filming Diary Day 7 - Hitchin

A video and pictures from yesterday's filming in Hitchin. I added the song New Tattoo by James Arthur to make the video more interesting. I felt that this song, despite being modern, had a jazzy feel to it with the guitar and drum beat and so I felt it would keep with the Film Noir style of my coursework.

Unfortunately, I could not be there to film on Thursday but from what I hear it went pretty much to plan however the group were not able to fit everything in and so we need to make another trip to Hitchin at some point. Emily made a prezi with pictures from the filming.

Using the Mac's

A video of what we did during yesterday's lesson. I also used the soundtrack from neo-noir film Body Heat to make the video more interesting and still fit in with the film noir genre of my coursework.

Communication

Communication

During the filming process, we have used Facebook to communicate with each other.  We created a Facebook group to post when we're planning on filming, what scenes and where we're going to film and what props and actors we need. Below are some examples of our posts.

Today I had a university interview and so could not participate in the filming. However, Cassia and Lib continued to film without me and got some shoots of the bedroom scene where Charlie writes in her diary.

Today we spent an hour and forty five minutes shooting the first part of our film. We shot the first two scenes and ensured that we had enough of each shot to give us choice when we come to edit it.
We used K10 and the English office to film and whilst we shot our film we also took pictures of us filming and working as a group.

Filming Schedule

This week we created a filming schedule for next week (Mon 3rd - Fri 7th).

This schedule tells us what scenes we're going to do, where we're going to go, which actors we need and what props/clothing we need. We're going to stay to this as much as possible to ensure that we get our film done in good time.
