2nd day of filming

Our second day of filming was very successful as we filmed a large amount of the footage we needed.
we managed to film the entire 'car accident' scene, and we also filmed it many times from many different angles so we have a selection to chose from, and we can see which angles work best and look the most professional.
we also worked extremely well as a team and each one of us took part in some way, and we enjoyed it too! hopefully this will come across in our work that we worked together professionally.

However, despite all the successful filming, we did come across quite a few issues whilst filming.
the first issue we came across was where to film. we had already chosen our location to film which was Rutherford road. we chose this location because its fairly quiet so we wouldnt be obstructing a main road or causing a scene. however, when we arrived, it was busier than we expected and there were a few cars driving around looking for parking spaces! we considered moving to a new location, but after we had discussed it and we decided to stay, otherwise we would be cutting into crucial filming time. i think we made the right deciscion to stay because after about 10minutes all the cars had gone, as it was mainly students looking for a parking space as we were filming at a time where students come in for lessons.

the next issue we faced was the issue of lighting. this could obvciously not be helped because it was the sunlight that was causing the problem. when we were trying to film inside the car, the positionning of the sun was causing unwanted shadows which completely changed teh effect we were going for. we tried to overcome this as best we could by re-positioning the car to get the best natural lighting possible.

a further issue was the lack of time. because we are using a student from a different class in our music video, he had to get back for lesson. therefore we were limited with just an hour and a half to get as much done as poosible. i think we managed to ivercome this very well by working efficiently and quickly as a team abd thinking on our feet.

Finally, one minor issue we had was during the last scene we filmed. we were filming an arguemet between waq and chrisinta and we did quite a few takes as they kept laughing when they were meant to be angry with eachother! eventually we got the perfect shot, however half way through the arguement we had a family of cyclists come past! this is obviously an issue we were bound to meet when filming in a public place. we kept this footage as we thought it might look more natural with people passing, but we also re-shot just in case it doesnt look good. therefore we have given ourself more than one option on how to overcome this.

so overall, our filming day was very very successfull and we still made it back to lesson so we have time to start editing the new footage.
