Film Production Diary!

Film Production Diary

Day One
Originally, we were supposed to film our outside scenes, including the car scenes. But this plan soon went out the window, because every time we tried to film something, it was way too dark to film. So, this handed us a set back, but instead we just filmed the inside scenes. We only got a few scenes filmed, in the 3 hours of filming, however, we got a lot of different shots of the scenes, so we have a lot to choose from when it comes to editing. On this particular day we had to battle through some pretty cold temperatures, in a garage, so some of the time we couldn't film as our hands were rather numb.


During the filming process we had a few set backs, as on days we planned to film, we were let down by some members of the group, and so filming was cancelled.


Day Two
Today we had a lot to get through, and so we started earlier than the first day. We firstly filmed the rest of the inside scenes, as there were scenes that didn't look good, from our previous days filming. Once getting through the inside scenes, we had to film outside. We knew we were filming outside today, but none of us thought of checking the weather forecast, and so when it came to filming outside, we had the cameraman and his umbrella holding assistant. Although, this doesn't sound professional, we were able to film outside, and kept the camera completely dry. However, I do not recommend getting someone to hold the umbrella who, is easily distracted. Once getting past the rain obstacle, we managed to complete the filming. Another problem we had was the lines. Trying to get certain group members to remember their lines was almost a mission impossible. After many takes and much frustration, we got through this scene, and managed to complete the filming.

Although, we only used two days to film, which could make some people believe the film isn't good quality, we spent several hours filming both days, and also we made sure every time we shot a scene we had several shots, from several angles, before we moved onto the next scene.
