Pre shoot, the team did encounter some difficulties including location and actors. However, we managed to obtain permission and have actors organised in time for our proposed date for filming. Although we had some doubts about the success of the trailer due to these setbacks, we all worked really hard and the trailer came together as planned.
Filming on location:
- Due to financial restrictions, unfortunately Connor was not able to attend this shoot.
- Hayley, Georgia and I arrived on time and began setting up. We were good with time management using our call sheet as a guide.
- At the beginning we did have some difficulty with the balance of the camera. We found the spirit level bubbles difficult to centre, but after some attempts we managed to level the shot correctly.
- The rest of the filming went generally very well. Although due to the weather being very cold, we did try to work quicker. In particular, the scene in which Georgia was required to lie on the ground.
When looking back on our footage and creating a ‘rough’ trailer outline, we decided that the trailer was missing narrative information and needed something extra to make it more interesting and informative. Therefore as a group we decided to film extra parts for the trailer.
Filming extra scenes:
- Thankfully the whole group was able to attend this shoot.
- Due to this being short notice and responsibility for other commitments, we used a different actor to play our protagonist. Patrick was very adaptable to the role and we produced some excellent scenes to add to the trailer.
- Additional scenes included our female character getting ready to go out. Georgia played this character again.
With the addition of these two scenes, the trailer was improved greatly. The whole shooting process and experience was great to do and with our organisational skills, ran smoothly.
