Filming

Location: The Foundation room
Actors: Jack and Toby
Main Props: A pen

Filming was quite hard to do, these are some of the problems I was faced with:

• The background changing -  because I was in a room with lots of other people that were not aware of what I was doing they had a tendency to move which would made the shots in coherent.
• The noise - I planned to use the audio off the clips because back round noise was required for my video, the problem this presented was one of continuity, in some shots the noise was quieter thatn others. This may pose a problem during editing.
• The tripod I was given was faulty so some angles were awkward to film.
• People kept walking into my shots! - I was trying hard to make sure that the composition of my shots was all intended and nothing was just chance. This also resulted in me re-filming some other wise good takes.

What went well?

• My actors were really patient with me throughout allowing me to achieve the desired effects.
• At one point I was breaking the 180 - rule by filming on the wrong side of one of my character breaking the continuity and possibly making it disorientating for the view (If I had included those shots). But luckily I realised my mistake and was able to rectify it by re-filming from the right position.

Did I change my story board?

No, not at all. I followed it completely and filmed all of the required shots. I may have to change a few when it comes to editing depending on their quality.
