Filming

Firstly we decided to film the white room as we were at college and allowed to use the camera. Filming went really well in the white room, as the light was clear and it was easy to see facial expressions and movement on the camera. The only problem we had was that the cut on arm from drug abuse didn't show up well on the camera. So we had to redo it much darker, although it still didn't have the impact on which we wanted. We had to use a white sheet as the carpet was a dark colour and ruined the effect of all white. This was easy to do so there were no problems. WE tried many different camera angles and levels and played them back to see which place was the best.

The next day we all went to Mel's house to film the fan section and Mel getting out of the car. Firstly we filmed Naomi running into the room and ripping up the poster. WE had to shoot this a couple of times as the camera angle didn't work as it blocked the view of Naomi's face and what she was doing. Lighting was bright so it made it seem much more realistic.We only printed a few posters so we had to be careful not to end up without enough posters to get it right so we had a few test runs without ripping up the poster.

The next bit we filmed was Mel getting out of the car, this was hard to do as we were unable to move the car and so when we tried to pretend Mel was driving everything in the background was at a stand still. As it was a dark and cold day lighting wasn't very good but it was just about bright enough to come across clear. We also tried out using cameras from outside of the car. This wasn't very successful as there was only three people so it didn't look very realistic and there was no flashes but we will edit it all and see if it will work if not we just wont included it in our sequence.

We also filmed Laurens bit outside as she was a news reader, this we will have to redo as it was far to windy and her hair was flying everywhere and so was all our time sheets. we will have to try and fit it in soon before the weather gets really bad.

Finally we filmed Rosie as another fan. We struggled with this as we didn't just want her to have the tickets in her hand and for it to look predictable. So we tried her getting up getting the tickets and sitting back down. Once again we struggled with camera angles as it was so hard to get her in walking and then she would be sitting in the opposite direction. We filmed it a few times and tried to get the best angles.

Overall the whole rough cut filming went well, we tried our best and hopefully once we have edited it all it will be as good as our Thriller. If not we will just refilm the areas in which were not happy with in order to produce something bigger and better than before!
