Preliminary Task - Filming

Filming Process:
The filming process went very well for me and beth, we worked well together as a team, and got the shoot done quickly. Over the course of the shoot we came across a few problems, be it that the location we would of like to use was to dirty and the cleaners were in there at the time in which we would of liked to film, So we therefore had to use a new location. We used E1, Using this location came with its problems be it we had to rearrange the room so it looked like a reception area.
The main problems we faced were:

Teachers walking past the room
Teachers talking in the staff room

To overcome these issues we filmed out of sequence so that the shots outside were filmed first so there would be little noise. We then over came the teachers talking in the staff room by shooting when there was no noise, as there was only a couple of shots in and around the area of the staffroom this was not a major problem for us

We decided that if there was exterior sound by the form off speech in our clip that we would not worry, as with it being a reception area there is bound to be people chatting and talking.

Beth and i took on the roles equally, we both operated cameras as we had two booked out. And we both directed the film, by putting ideas across about what would look great on camera. Personally i believe i did well with the camera and my skills using it have been enhanced, i also feel i have improved greatly at directing a film as this has given me the opportunity to work on my skills.
