First day of filming

On Wednesday 2nd December, we began to film different shots of our music piece. Our aim was to gather certain shots from our shot list which heavily involves our main actor, Jazz. This is because it is very hard to find time to film Jazz so we booked a date suitable for us and the actor and got as much filming done as possible ensuring it was filmed to our best ability. To make sure we had god shots, we made sure we filmed it at least two or three different times so we could pick the best one. 

Above is a clip of an example of some of the filming we did that day. We focused our filming in the main location at The Marlborough School. This is a shot emphasising the characters loneliness, showing that she is isolated with no friends. We showed this by clearly showing a group of friends walking past her and not acknowledging her.

Our shot list enabled us to film every shot we wanted to include in our production as well as filming additional shots. This allowed us to become organised and me and my partner both clearly knew where to film and what angle/position of camera.


Overall, I am very happy with our first day of filming. This is because I believe we gathered some very effective shots to emphasise the actors loneliness within the school. In order to improve our filming for the next time we film, I believe that we should plan the different locations in the school we will be using move effectively so that it is less time consuming on the day of filming.
