Dating back to Monday 26th of February, our first filming session took place. I recall we wanted to film the scenes that took place inside the sixth form college as we couldn't travel to our location as it was too far to commute during lesson.Our set was to be the entrance of the sixth form college ad from there we filmed the scene where Ezhno has a brief encounter with his crush Abby.
I wasn't included in the scene so I was an acting crew member and co-directed the scene. I monitored the acting and decided whether both actors delivered their lines strongly and whether it was worthy of being included in our title sequence.Also i done an odd amount of camera work. I filmed various over the shoulder shots of Ezhno.In hindsight instead of holding the camera with my bare hands i should have used a fig-rig to reduce the shaking of the camera.
It was a very lengthy process as there was so many laughs on set! Almost in every take there was giggling from the cast(Jakub and Lindsey) and the crew(Me and Seren)! There was many extertnal factors which caused this, such as the wind which kept blowing our props around and also Jakub and Lindsey forgetting their lines and also since we were filming outside in a public area people kept walking around our 'set'.
After watching the footage back i can see this instability of the camera due to me holding it and the effect it gives off is not a good one. With the constricted time we had added up with all the laughing we don't have a sufficient clip to use. Because of this together with a shaky camera it looks very tacky and unprofessional and because of this, this scene needs to be re-filmed with a fig-rig and seriousness.
