Filming Diary Entry 2


This weeks filming was very successful. Due to our planning ahead, we managed to complete all the shots we had prepared for and in style of what we wanted.

We started the filming with the shots 5 and 6, showing the couple at university. We had sent a message out to ask for people to come and be extras in the filming, and lots of people turned up. This was very pleasing and helpful as it made our scene look very realistic but also meant that we could place people around our two main actors so that it didn't look strange and too obvious who the focus was meant to be on.

Our next part of filming was in Costa where the couple were meant to be having a date. This was also very realistic and relaxed as our actors are already together, so we told them to act natural and just moved our shots around them according to the shot list. Luckily we had time to do this before the end of school so there were not hundreds of people milling around, but there were enough to make it look realistic.

Finally, we filmed in the library, doing shots 8-11. This was slightly problematic as the shot required us to move the camera along with the actors through the bookcase but the bookcase was slightly lower than the height of our actors, so they had to crouch making it quite bumpy. However, after a number of tries, we finally managed to make it run smoothly.
