OLD - Filming

Difficlties:
  • wind
  • people in the background eg. kids in the park, people at the beach
  • bumpy filming when walking
  • shadows
  • cars and bikes
  • camera falling off the tripod
  • low battery
Skills, Techniques & Tricks
  • adjusting tri-pod to be level
Process:
The film process has gone really well so far. We haven't had any major difficulties that stopped us from filming although we need to redo a few shots because of the wind and also the camera wasn't steady.

Time:
We have managed our time effectively. We will have all of our filming done before the holidays except for maybe one scene where we have to go to my house. We have spent one day filming at Talula's place and in the Mermaid Beach area. We will spend one more day at the same place and then about half a day at my place in Tallai.

Changes:
I don't want to change anything about the story line of our film. The only thing i would change was to try filming at a different park to see if it is better. We are already planning on doing this.

Restart:
If I could start again, I would add more to Talula's story board and write it all down rather than trying to remember the ideas we have.
