Filming

My group and I finally finished filming all the components for our trailer. As part of this we had the task of filming a difficult 360° shot of a still frame in which the main character Darrel Brown is facing one of his enemies. Holding the camera still was a difficult task while moving around the actors, the camerawoman did a good job and although it did seem slightly shaky it only added more edge to the final sequence which we will speed up. We also filmed two other final scenes which lead up to this event. Darrel Brown, the main character, receives a call to which he swiftly runs to follow instructions. In this scene we used a mid shot and a close up of the actors face to see more emotion on his face. Next we will continue to edit the trailer.

During the entire filming process our group always found time to get together on weekends or weekdays and film whatever scenes we need, with a good plan on paper so that there are no confusions while on set. The most productive filming session was during an evening in which we filmed in a men’s changing rooms, a street corner, a library which we made out to be a job centre and a car park like warehouse in which we filmed a party scene.

The most difficult task during the filming process was making sure we had the correct locations and characters. Communication within the group and with the actors was vital. All the members of the group took turns in filming and directing, this was to make sure that everyone was happy with the end product.
