Filming Diary

On day one of filming the footage for my groups opening sequence we began filming in an art classroom because that is where we wanted our main scene to be, once we'd sorted out our props we began filming and everything was going smoothly. My group didn't experience anything bad, everything went to plan. We followed our production schedule and filmed everything at the right time, we even had extra time so we filmed some scenes more than once, this would help us greatly when it coms to putting our opening sequence together because we had a choice of different clips to use for the same scene.

On the second day of filming we had been told that we'd broken the 180 degree rule, this was a shock to us because we hadn't realised, so we filmed the scene again making sure to avoid breaking the 180 degree rule. This went well so we moved on to film outside in the street, it was cold and windy which could've been a problem for us as the character Jodie takes stuff out of her bag in the search for something and we were worried that her things might blow away. However when we started filming we found that the wind was an advantage for us, this is because it added a lonely kind of effect to Jodie as she broke down in tears and her hair blew in the wind.


This is me applying the paint in little brush strokes to look like scratches for Jodie's arm. Once we started filming I also started to scratch my arm which made it go slightly red, this helped us because it shows the audience that Jodie was very distressed and scratches her arms to relieve some of the stress she was under.








This is my arm once I'd finished applying the paint to it, the red paint made the scratches for Jodie's arm look more realistic which was good because we didn't want them to look fake and I didn't want to actually cut my arm.
