We spent this week filming our short film. After going through the script with the cast and rehearsing the scenes we were confident to start filming. As we required using the main school corridors it was only appropriate to film after school. This meant we had extra time rehearsing, which allowed our cast to be familiar with their lines and roles. As this was the first time we were filming, we had to learn how to use the camera and other filming equipment. However Chris was quick to learn and we used our time most productively by getting the main footage done.
The second day of filming went much smoother. Everyone knew their roles and was the cast showed more confidence while acting as they were more familiar with each other and the crew members. We also had the opportunity to redo sections from the day before as the footage was not to the high standard we had set ourselves. In total it took just over 4 hours to get all our footage and rehearse any scenes that the cast were confused about.
