STARTED FILMING!!!

I started filming on the 24th of January.

It was quite fun and interesting trying to work out all the different shots and angles.
It took several shots to make sure I got the shot of Laura walking to the door just right. Laura got a bit annoyed...

After getting as many shots as possible from as many different angles as possible it was time to bring in the second actor.

My idea and aim to get a shot of Laura walking was to filmed from both inside and outside (the outside being from the point of view from the second actor). Getting a shot of Laura walking from the outside proved VERY difficult.
there were several affecting factors;
*the traffic- cars kept zooming past in the shot and it was a matter of continuity to have NONE in the shot.
*the actor- who sometimes got the actions wrong
*the other actress inside the shop who didn't see us signalling to 'GO!' at the right time.

On top of all this I had to make sure I got the right shot LOOKING right! It was difficult and time was not on our side (we started to freeeze in the wonderful Januray weather) but we got there eventually.

After watching it back I realised there was a slight problem of CONTINUITY. the shots of Laura which I filmed from the inside and then from the outside differed in one way--- Laura didn't wear a coat from the inside shots, but from the outside shots she did. I didn't realise this until afterwards (while watching and then moaning at my really silly mistake) so when I film next Sunday (or possible change of date) that is one thing I will definitely be looking out for and checking over and over again!!...

...And reshooting the inside shots of course!
