My group first began filming on the 10th November 2015, and chose to film our preliminary project in the school library and a small office room with all the necessary filming equipment. However, halfway through the filming process our camera ran out of battery so we were unable to film the rest of our project until the following Thursday. As we had to continue our filming on a different day, we decided as a group that it would be easier to re-film the whole project in a new location to prevent drastic changes in lighting and costume changes over the different dates. We chose to film in the media studio rather than the library as this allowed us to use the professional lighting and backdrops which created a higher quality piece.
As we had to re-film our whole project, we had to be extremely efficient with our time schedule as we had very little time to film and edit our project within the allocated time. To combat this, we assigned each member of the group to a different task in order to save time. Myself and Harriet did all the filming for the project and set up the lights and backdrop to suit the footage, and Amy and Emma played the two characters in the task. We made a group decision on how to set up the 'interview' furniture in the scene, as well as which camera shots and angles looked best for the footage. We also slightly adapted some of the original dialogue that we had written on our storyboard, as parts of the original speech between the characters didn't flow throughout the footage as smoothly as we would've liked.
We worked well as a team so finished the filming on time with plenty of time to edit in our next media session, and the only aspect of filming that tended to slow us down was the focusing of the camera in some of the scenes as it was difficult to control at the beginning of the process. However, this was soon resolved as we got to grips with the equipment, so all the footage was executed to a high quality which made the editing process much easier.
