Day 3 of Filming

Day 3 of Filming

Location: Freya's house (home of James and Megan)
Scene: 1 and 3
Actors/actress': Robbie and Jess

Today we were filming at my house as this was the location in which Megan and James live. Our group decided to use my house as this location as it is fairly modern and we wanted the couple to have a fairly wealthy appearance to the audience to communicate that both of them have well paid jobs. 



What went well: 

• All members corporated together and worked well as a group and shared ideas with one another
• We were able to get all the shots we needed and more! Our group decided to take more shots than we needed so we could play around with them when editing
• All members came on time and in the correct clothing ready to film straight away
• The location was suitable for filming and had socket plugs and props already in there that we could use, for example, a table, plate, easily accessible backdoor

What issues we had to face:

• The kitchen/dinning room we were filming in had large open doors going into the garden that had no curtains or blinds to cover it. The light pouring through made the footage on the camera look very blurred and we were unable to get a clear shot. So Jess and I had to stand on chairs and hold up a double sheet (black) to block out the sunlight to enable Jack could get a clear shot. 
• When we were filming the first scene, the printer we were using to print off missing posters ran out of inc so we were unable to actually show footage of the printer printing off the posters. But luckily we had some printed out already so we made it look like Robbie (the husband) printed them out. 
• During the first scene the husband needed to answer the door and open it and have a short conversation with his wife's sister. As I live on a main road it is very noisy when you open the door and you get road noise flooding in. Therefore it might be very difficult to hear the two when they are speaking so we will have to mute the sound and record them talking again and match up the speech with the movement of their lips.
