Shooting the scene

As a follow up of our plan on the short scene, on Friday, my group (Myself, Sinead and Armanee) started shooting our (45 second) short film. Armanee was in charge of the camera and was filming whilst Sinead and I were acting out the scenes. The short film is based where two people are in a school and are meeting up to exchange sweets. There is humour in this as it looks like they are dealing with something serious i.e drugs, whereas they are simply dealing with sweets.
We filmed this in our school hallway. It wasn't easy to film as people kept on walking past and interupting our scenes. Also, we had the odd few people coming into our shots on purpose which made us have to start again allthough we had finished in time for when the lesson had ended.
Armanee also had a few issues with using the camera as to how to rewind and record over scenes that weren't wanted but in the end, we got there.
This is the first time in Media where we were doing teamwork, and was also the first time of us all using camcorders. Working as a team went very well as we all co-operated and made each other understand what we were doing, or if any of us were doing something wrong. Overall, the filming went well and we now know how to use a recorder better than before.

Day2:
Paula saw the way we did the film and in her feedback said there was room for adjustment so we decided to do it again. We decided that we were going to use different actors in the film so that way, Sinead and I could help Armanee out with shooting the scenes and camera work. We filmed it again due to some scenes being too fast and not knowing what is happening in it. We made the second film show the shots more clearly as this now can make the audience aware what is happening in them.
