Meeting #2 - Practice Shooting - Friday 28th January

Photobucket
Our first go at practice shooting in the dark:


On the Friday 28th January, us as a group decided to meet up and practice with the camera's in the dark where were going to shoot our first scene for our opening sequence task. We decided to bring a few props such as the suits and glasses shown the images , just in case we wanted to start filming on that night.We had great fun practising with the camera and dressing up with the props and preparing for our actual filming and getting the shot locations ready for the angles and shot styles we were going to use.

The location that we first went to was Malden Manor. We thought this was a good area to start shooting as it was such an ideal place to shoot our planned story boarded opening sequence. In Malden Manor, there was an area where there was a lot of fields, woods, a river, a train track overhead and dark alley ways and tunnels. We thought this would be a great area to practice our filming for our opening sequence but the downside was the amount of light that was available to us when it got extremely dark.

Because it was dark and there was as much as little lighting for our shots and there was no electrical sources nearby to set-up powered lighting, we had to use the light on the camera. The light on the camera wasn't that bad  but we thought that we could have had a little more light just so it was easier to see the characters such as Lauren whom will be playing the victim of the story.

PhotobucketAn advantage of the area that we were filming is, is that there was not many people that walked by. This gave us an advantage to how much time we could freely film without any distraction or anyone getting in the way of the camera. This saves a lot of time and gave us more time to practice for our real shooting for the opening sequence.

In conclusion, the night was great, as we had much fun with all of us practising with the camera's, using the props and getting used to the area and our surroundings to where we were going to film for some of the shots of our opening sequence task.
