Today we again, had access to our location (our school), props and cast so we filmed the remaining shots we had left to do, and finished all our filming as all our group was present. Today, we had all our cast members so we were able to film the beginning of our film opening, and any shots that we had decided to re-do from last time. When we arranged our time to meet we arranged a time of 6:00 this time, as last time when we met at 7:00 we ran out of time, so this time we made sure we had enough time to finish it. We had told the main actress, Angela, that she must wear exactly the same clothes and jewelers, and have her hair the same as last time, in order to avoid any continuity errors. We made sure that the location was exactly the same as last time also.
The equipment that we had with us this time was a tripod and video camera, this time we had a microphone for the speaking bits. We brought our final storyboard again so we could follow it as we filmed. We brought our checklist of shots so we knew what we had left to do and what we needed to re-do from last time.
First of all, we decided to film the scene that we were unable to film in the last session, which was the scene of 3 people running away, and then splitting up. Our idea was to suggest that they had committed some sort of crime so we would hear a siren in the background so the audience would know why they were running. We decided that when editing we would edit the sound of the siren in over the top so we could manipulate how loud we wanted it to be. We followed our story board, and finished this part. However, we had a few issues with this part of the filming; as it was very windy we had a bit of trouble with sound. In this part of our film opening we decided to use a microphone because of this issue, and this proved to work a lot better and the sound was heard a lot better. Next we decided to film the shots that we decided we wanted to re-do from last time. We took a note of why the previous shots didn't work, and filmed them in a different way to last time. Next we filmed the remaining shots that we had left. One shot which required us to film in our school sports hall looking up into the window where the hall we were filming is. While we were filming this, 1 of us went down into the sports hall, and the other 2 stayed in the hall, we were on the phone to each other so we could easily direct the filming and the actors. Next we filmed the scenes where it cuts away from the hall and goes to the other 2 actors at the start who split up from Jade, we decided to film these in a well lighted area using a black backdrop to give the effect that they were outside, we decided against filming in the actual outside as it was pretty dark and the lighting wouldn't be good for filming. After we would edit this piece of film to make it looks more realistic.
Here are an album of the pictures I took while was filming today:

After all this, we reviewed all the shots we had done today and made sure that we had done everything we needed in order to make sure that we didn't have to come back after finding out we forgot any shots.
