Filming
Unfortunately i wasnt able to help with the filming as i was away in London on my placement. I kept in contact with one of my group members to make sure if there was anything i could do to help from London. Previously i had done all the planning before hand and all the scripting. The problems i had was firstly that none of my group was turning up into uni so i had to plan everything myself also work out who would like to do which part and we were all going to help with the filming. Another problem i had was writing the script as this was arkward due to the fact i had to keep asking all the different groups what they had planned. Also some of the locations had to be the same so that we got the same footage, as there was normally more than one group filming the same scene.
As i was part of the students group there was not that much intense stuff that needed to be filmed it was mainly just them in the classrom playing around with the camera and a bit of dialoge of them talking between themselves. I asked one of my group members how the filming went and did they follow the script, but i was told that they just went with the flow and planned it from there, so i don’t actually know what footage they have got as the group member who has all the footage for the film that needs editing is away on placement.
Before i went away for placement i went through a rehersal shoot with phil and my group to work out what each shot was going to look like and how it was going to work, where the people were going to be sitting? all that sort of stuff. This was helpful as it made me have a clearer understanding of how it was going to work out and they way it was going to be filmed.
All i no is that what i was planned to do for my group has been done and handed in to phil peel and i will send the character profiles to luke.
This is what i had planned for our group but as far as i no the group has now changed?
Team Members: Me, Gemma, Dom, Lynne
Roles:
Lisa = Scripting and planning and filming
Dom = Storyboards and filming
Gemma = Editing and filming
Lynne = Props and filming
Overall i think this is the project that i have least enjoyed out of the whole year, as i am not that interested in film and edit. But i would of liked to be a little bit more invovled with the filming part of the project as i think this would of been a good experience. I am also looking forward to seeing how all the groups come together and show the piece as a whole. If i was to do this again i think i would of change the whole idea of the film and maybe worked with people that all would of put the same effort in.
