Production of film take 2

It is time for us to get into groups to produce our second film of the course. The group I am in consists of
Director - Gustav Newby
Producer - Myles McAuliffe
Camera - Myself
Sound - Josh Montague
Editor - Elspeth Wild
Despite our titles we shall all help out in regards of getting locations casts and the final shooting and editing process.

The filming weekend started with the capturing of the stills photos for the film. These photos would be used in the film to show the memories of the main character, we first shot in Victoria park as the weather was good so whilst we only had the single out door scene we thought it would be best to get in done in the sun shine. This process was quick and simple and we were out of the park swiftly.

Next to the Students Union Shop in which we had to film Ed buying bottles of coke and smashing them. Unfortunately the shop was still open as normal which meant the pictures took a while to take as people were walking in and out of shot and the simple mater of continuity was a hard task to keep. Having to smash a bottle of coke was hard to do as we were not given permission to do so in the shop, yet in previous photos we see the floors pattern. Fortunately the toilets have the same pattern, so we recreated the scene there.

The final scene to take photos of was the office scene, I was in charge of getting this location with the head of the library. These organisational requirements in the course are good as they enhanced my skills to lease on the phone and organise events. The shooting itself went very well and we got all of the shots we needed.
