The filming process

Here I have commented on the filming process, keeping track of our film construction process.

Based upon a rough shooting schedule we decided to film the outdoor shots, with Rose's death. For this we needed the camera crane, and due to some set-up issues we were delayed 30 mins.We then began to shoot establishing shots and basic crane shots, we had to immediately re-shoot certain clips because of judder and shaky camera. However we persevered and managed to complete the shooting by 5:30. We also had some high angle and low angle shots, and thanks to my mum's acting we had excellent scene.

Only a few shots were taken today, due to lack of equipment, and crew. However we managed to film several bits and pieces, a low angle shot, high angle, shot reverse shot and tracking dolly shot. Filming finished at 11:00am.

I set up the scene placing a chair, desk, laptop and whiteboard to make it look like an office. We did several panning shots, however problems with the camera focusing  delayed us by 10 minuets. We chose to do an interesting camera shot of Adam looking at his computer but from the computers perspective. The entire shoot took 2 hours. The main problems we faced were focusing issues and continuity issues, we resolved these by sitting down addressing the camera problems and sorting them out, and we had to re-shoot some of the clips to avoid continuity errors.

We used the Ramada hotel for the walking to work shots, this was relatively easy panning and no problems arose, we completed it in 2 takes. The next area to shoot was at my house. We obeyed the shooting schedule and started in the bedroom, Chris waking up scene. I come up with idea of blurring the lens by going slightly out of focus, to show Chris being tired. We then continued to shoot in the bathroom, with an interesting mirror shot, which was hard to shoot but eventually after several takes we got a perfect clip of Chris getting changed without any continuity issues or similar problems, we finished at around 6:00pm.
