Filming Day 2

On 22^nd March we filmed the first two scenes of our film and this took around an hour and a half as there wasn't much set up required except positioning the camera and setting up the tripod. Overall it took around 9 takes as there was a few where errors were made such as zooming in too fast and a take where an actor couldn't keep serious. We used a different location than originally planned as this location was less  obscured and a busier location so we could have people looking through the shot.

The filming went reasonably well, the final take we chose did have a minor error with the zoom but it was the best one compared to others. The main issue we had was because we had to get another student to operate the camera as both me and the person I was working with was in this shot together. We tried different positions and enter and exit points for both us and any other actors, although we didn't re position the camera on the tripod to possibly try different angles. Also the day we filmed the weather was poor so this was an issue when we needed people to walk by but mainly because where the camera was positioned was not undercover.

I think the main thing I learnt was ensuring we had some to operate the camera; luckily someone else was with us who were willing to. I didn't learn much as to the camera as I was the main person in the scene although I have realized the importance of getting used to the zoom beforehand as this was the main issue as to why we didn't get as many usable takes as before.
