Filming

When we first started filming our movie we were not that great as this was the first time we had all ever used a video camera however we got use to using the camera soon enough and got confident filming the scenes in our movie. The problems we had come across when we first started recording our movie was that we never used enough shots in our scenes instead we would records a whole scene in just 2 or 3 shots we resolved this problem by showing our teacher the movie and the feedback we received was to include a variety furthermore our teacher showed us an example of a small scene which included 12 different shots therefore we took what we learned and applied it to our movie.

One of the things we achieved in our movie was that we actually stuck to the correct timings for all our scenes and we did not breach the two minutes which we had to film in this was a good achievement as this showed that we stuck to what we originally set out to do however we did change a few things from our original storyboard because of different legitimate reasons. We originally were going to use a real knife and alcohol as our props for the film but we could not use these props because of health and safety reasons and because none of us were at the legitimate age to be able purchase alcohol therefore instead we created a plastic knife ourselves using our schools DT departments facilities and we used water bottles instead of the alcohol bottles we set out to use originally.

Another thing we had to change from our original planning documents was the time of day we were going to record our scenes. We originally set out to record our movie at night (8pm) however we did not have the equipment to record at night and our camera did not pick up anything when it was dark therefore we decided to change our time of day to daytime (2pm) in order to be able to record our scenes properly and to be able to actually see what we are recording.
