Looking Back

Looking back at the filming we took on Wednesday at the cadet centre, here is a few shots that we put together:

Filming

Eventually we have started the filming process. We took the video cameras and still cameras with their tripods to the cadet centre in Kingston park to start the filming of the cadets etc. The first thing we done was look around and jot down ideas for shots and different areas for filming whilst waiting for the cadets to arrive. Some areas of the building looked to modern but we can easily work around this for other parts of the short film. there is also plenty areas that are suitable for the time period and the cadets were all in their kit so they looked the part. We took the still camera so we could take photos that could potentially be used in the ancillary tasks but I feel I got slightly too into the filming and forgotten about the camera so this is something that I will try keep in mind for next time so we have more to work with. There was a few parts of the filming where I thought that the background didn't fit with the time that it is meant to be set in, however, the sound was great and would be very useful still in the film. We just hope that the sound has came out well with the filming otherwise we will have to do it again with proper sound equipment. Many shots were good but we are going to have a few sessions of filming in this area with the same people so we get the best possible shots for the filming. As this is the first step of filming we aren't promising that these will be the best shots that we take so we will look through them when we're back at school and see where we can improve and take more and then go back to the centre next week for more filming.
