Day 1 of filming:
We decided to shoot over two days so that we wouldn't have any issues with lighting because of the fact that it gets dark early at this time of the year. We also decided that we would film at my house because it is closest to Crystal Palace Park, and we planned to use this park for the exterior filming. Also, my parents were happy to let us film in my house.
Because of the fact that my bedroom is laid out in a strange way, there were times where room for the tripod was an issue, however, other than that and some laughing issues, the shoot went well. We had no option but to use a flip camera because we wanted to get the filming done during half term, and the new cameras won't be arriving until January. We decided to sacrifice a crisper picture for being on schedule, which I think was a good idea as others would want to use the cameras at the same time, so it would less of a strain on the staff in the Media Resources Centre if we got our filming over and done with. Also, it means that we have more time to ensure the editing is as good as we can make it, and - bearing in mind the Media Resources Centre only has two Macs - it means that not everyone wants to use the Macs for editing at the same time.
We managed to film all the interior shots today, which was good as it meant that all we had to tomorrow was film the exterior parts. Below are some photos of us filming:
