Production report

Our group had two filming days. The first day was largely unsuccessful as most of the footage we captured had something wrong with it, such as camera flashing, leaving equipment in the background and some shots being the wrong size. This meant that we had to re-capture a lot of our shots again which happened on the second filming day.
(This is a montage of a mixture of our two days of filming)




When it came to the second day of filming we took note of what we had done wrong and made sure that we avoided the same mistakes again. When we finally got going we decided to film according to location. This involved us filming all the scenes in the living room one after the other, all the scenes in the kitchen together and all the scenes in the dining room together. We came to the conclusion that when I shouted 'cut' at the end of a scene Kenny would freeze, allowing pictures to be taken. This would also work as in the first scene with the jumpcuts we needed Kenny to stay exactly frozen, hopefully not comprimising continuity and as a result it didnt comprimise continuity.

We did face some problems with the location itself, which we could do nothing to counteract at the time. The lighting, especially at the front of the house was extremley bright and unfortunatley there are no curtains to pull across to get rid of the light. This was however editied slightly during post production. Also behind the house there is a train track and also Apsley train station is very close. This proved to be an interference as we couldnt have the train track coming in and out of our scenes as it would ruin continuity. To keep continuity we had to stop everytime a train went past. Even though this proved to be an annoyance it allowed us to keep continuity.
