Filming Blog

 We had planned to film over the weekend from Friday 14th to Sunday 16th. However, ended up being unable to do so due to not having access to the cameras and tripods. Since we were unable to film over that weekend, I rescheduled our first day of filming. I decided on Thursday, February 20th, and made sure my fellow camera man and the actors were available. I planned out a time and the order in which the scenes would be filmed that would be most effective. This would help make up for lost time and keep us on track. I checked that everyone had a way to get to our locations and we were good to go. Learning from past mistakes, I decided that one member of my group should take the camera home the day before we film. This would ensure that it was charged and ready to film with. I checked out a camera for my team and my group mate took it home to charge it.

  On Thursday, the 20th, we were all ready to film. I met up with my group mates and one of my group mates drove us to our first location, which was her house. Once I was there with my group, I checked that the camera was fully charged and that there were no issues. Thankfully, it was charged and I was able to begin filming immediately. I made sure to have the schedule I had made for each scene with me during the entirety of filming. This allowed me to keep the group on track and easily see what was next. As for my roll in the filming process, I was both a cameraman and a director. I filmed most of the scenes while also ensuring the actor knew exactly what to do. This made the process easier and I could watch how the scenes would look through the camera. Therefore, I could change small details or mistakes with each scene and correct them so we got good shots. Overall, my first day of filming was successful and I had a lot of fun while filming as there were no issues.
