First Day Of Filming

Today was our first day of filming. We had already confirmed with Mr Bruce that we were going to film. When we filmed, it was quite disorganised as none of us knew what we were doing. However, towards the end we improved alot. Taslima was not in that day so we had to do it without her. Sultana and Syeda had already arranged things with Mr McIntosh and Mr Williams with the speakers and that was sorted for the first scene. The first shot was with Mr Bruce crawling on the floor and i was the camera woman. As i have already had experience with a camera, i did not find it that hard. I also filmed the shot outside of Mr Bruce creeping besides the fence. There was a couple of problems with the camera due to the stand. The floor was not level, so when i panned right to left, the camera shook. We then fixed the stand and shot the film again. The fence was also too high so we had to put Mr Bruce on a table. Sultana did the last shot between the mum and nathan talking to each other. We had a few problems as the fence was too high. We resolved the problem by putting the camera on a chair so it was on the same angle. Every time we filmed, we took it a couple of times so that if one take looked better than the other, we would have a choice whether or not we would use it. One problem we had whilst filming outside was that we did not anticipate that it would be so cold and therefore our actors got cold. However, todays shoot was a success. We even managed to take a couple of pictures for the poster.
