Having filmed about 60% of our footage on Sunday 18th January, we had a lot of editing to do, which we started on monday. It was obvious that we had plenty of footage and were happy with how most of it came out.
All in all, i believe our first shoot was a succcess, we stuck to the storyboard, while also filming any extra shots wherever we felt necessary. Although it was tiresome, as we in town for nearly seven hours, we managed to get a lot of footage and i am pleased with the quality of most of the shots. (However, it was very embarrasing walking around town with a man dressed as a clown...)
One of the problems we came across was that both our batteries ran out. Luckily, we had a personal camera with us which we could start filming on. We are now in the process of converting these files onto the correct format so that we can edit it on the school's version of premier Elements.
Luckily, on the day, weather was on our side and we did not run into any faults on that note. Also, there were not too many people getting in our way (probably because they were scafred of the clown). Transport was not an issue either as we had access to a friend's car, which we later used as a dolly as well.
The only shots that i feel we may need to re-shoot are the scene in the alleyway, the 'running around car' scene and possibly the shots of the man running up the stairs. (Mostly because i believe we could have made these shots slightly better in terms of angle and lighting). We can easily film these in town on Sunday though, as we are going to shoot the ending anyway.
We also filmed all the shots in Theo's house today (Scene in which they run through a house) and will see tomorrow if we need to re-shoot any of it. Though i feel it went very well and i donn't think we will need to reshoot any of it. (That reminds me - thanks, Theo, for letting us use your house.)
As i mentioned, we will be going into Tunbridge Wells on Sunday 25th January to film any re-shoots, filler shots and the ending. We hope to start very early again, hopefully, this time my lazy companions will wake up early enough ... :p
