Still Day 1 of Filming

This is a short film to show the first day of filming and some of the behind the scenes funny moments.
first of all we decided to do some establishing shots in the garden as we were aware of timing and in the winter it gets dark very quickly. before the actors came to the location, we finalized all of the shots of the family so that we were organised and we were able to get the filming done quickly. We also made sure any of the shots that didn't involve the characters were done before they arrived to save time. We were also aware of the age of our actress, Serafina and were conscious of her staying up too late.

To make sure every shot was suitable we did two takes of every shot. this allowed us to decide on the best ones when i comes to editing. we also allowed a couple of seconds before and after the shots whilst filming so that we had room to cut in tot he takes.

Day 1 Of Filming

 On October 13th the sixth form all went to a boat party and this being the third one I had been to I was aware of the scenery us as a group could capture in London. Therefore, I took many videos and pictures and came across these two to be my favourite. These shots would be successful in our film due to it being action/thriller based and these establishing shots in London make the movie look high budget. The sound in the videos would not be used and we would add non diegetic sound over to top which will be dramatic, up paced and tense to follow the codes and conventions of an action but also allow the audience to feel unnerving due to achieving a thriller as well.

However, due to having limited resources at this event it was filmed on an IPhone 5s therefore the quality isn't how we expected however, we wish to incorporate this into our trailer and make it look as professional as possible. I screenshotted this image from a panning video as i thought it could be successful to use as a single shot. However, further down in the process I may decide to incorporate the video as well.
