First Day of Filming

Our first day of filming took place on Friday 9th December using Wimbledon Common as our location. We filmed from around 2:30 - 4, throughout that period we shot all of the shots that we needed for the scenes in the forest.


What made it even more special was the fact that we got there just in time for sunset which made our shots even more beautiful - with the sun shining through the trees. Whilst filming we used the school's camera and tripod which helped us a great deal and worked well for tracking and panning. In addition to filming the scenes we were recording all of the process throughout using Iva and Shazma's cameras. We found that Iva's camera (iPhone 4S) especially had very good quality, having tried a few test shots with that camera, we decided to use it as well as the school's as it is very good quality. Using both video cameras we will now try and combine the shots taken with both cameras in our music video; the only down side to this is the fact that the two camera's have two completely different qualities and it may ruin the outcome of the music video and may create an amateur look. Along with the fact that some shots taken with the iPhone were a little shaky as we did not have a tripod to help us out.

I believe we used our time wisely as by the end of the two hours we had got all the shots needed from the forest, now all we have to shoot are the scenes in the dark room and in central London.
