Preliminary Exercise

1st DAY OF FILMING

30th October, we started our filming, prior to this we had met up as a group to make a shooting schedule and practice filming, we also tried filming at different times of the day to see when was the best time to film, for picture quality and fitting in with the genre of our film. We agreed the early afternoon was the best time to film as the lighting was good enough to film in and any later than this and it would be too dark to film.

following our storyboard we decided that all our scenes indoors, should be filmed in the same room on the same day as this would make our shooting schedule simpler for the whole group, we also agreed that all of our outdoor filming should be completed on the same location, Hilly fields.
Having decided to shoot our outside shots first we went to Hilly fields, needed to create the location of the moors, we chose the flattest part of the park and filmed on the banks of the river.

We started by filming the scene where a girl finds the planted glove. We filmed this from three different angles, a mid-shot, and over-the-shoulder shot and an extreme close up. We filmed the whole scene in each type of shot and decided to use the mid-shot to show the girl, Georgia, walking towards the glove, then follow with an over-the-shoulder shot of her bending to pick it up and an extreme close up of her hand picking up the glove. We made Georgia repeat the sequence at least three times to ensure we got enough footage.

After completing one of our main outside shots, we went on to film her running away, this time only using two different shot types, a mid-shot of the back of Georgia and a close-up of her feet running pat the camera. The whole thing was difficult to shoot as we could not how Georgia's face at any time, as she was playing a child much younger than her, so many of the shots a filmed from behind her or below her waist.

To finish our filming we wanted to get footage of Georgia running and falling over, however this proved to hard for Georgia to act so we decided that it was not necessary to our film anyway. Finally we filmed some of the location and a few extra scenes that we might need should our original footage prove unsuitable for our film.
