Summary of Filming Process

This is How our Filming Progress went:
Myself, Stacey and Hayley all took part in the filming progress i was an actress as well as involved in filming scenes without me in. Connor could not attend the filming due to financial transport issues and therefore he will hopefully be more part in the editing side of our project. We let the people in charge of the car park know when we were starting filming and when we had finished, they were ever so helpful and interested in what we were doing. They allocated us a certain part of the car park which wouldn't be busy so that we could get on with our filming. We also wore fluorescent clothing to make people recognise that we were filming. We tried to use a tripod for various scenes in our trailer however we had problems trying to balance this and get it straight, They yellow bubble was stubborn and wouldn't go in the middle. We did a short clip of Adam inside the car this was tricky trying to get the camera in a suitable place for what we wanted to show and also to get lighting. We did not have profession interior lighting as this wouldn't have been affordable so instead we used a smart phone with a torch application, this worked well in the end as it was compact, convenient and cheap. Myself, Stacey and Hayley all used the Sony camera at various points of the day. We set the white balance and focused and zoomed in order to suit our footage. However when looking back at our unused footage some shots were out of focused and therefore couldn't be used. In the future with more experience of the camera and its features we would have been able to improve this however we believed we did the best we could. There was a scene where i had to lie on the floor is a short black dress. The temperature was freezing and therefore we attempted to work as quick as possible for these scenes. The team work was really well i didn't know how to get to the chosen car park so Stacey picked me up. There were other minor problems throughout the day however we managed to solve these. Myself and Stacey had never met Adam the actor before however he was very friendly and there was no awkwardness. We all had fun filming our teaser trailer and it was a good experience.
