Today using the storyboard we had planned carefully as a group we began to film the shots that were staged infant of a white wall. Once we had worked out-out the order of the shots we were going to film and everyone knew what they were doing, it was simple to do it multiple times. We filmed every shot at least three times, just in case a shot was out of focus or didn't come out the way we wanted it to. As we have realised that even if someone thinks they are steady, the shots will be noticeably shaky without a tripod. However, for the majority of the shots, we did use a tripod to ensure the shots were steady and in focus. The lighting in the room was very dark and because we wanted to white wall to appear as bright, clear and ultimately pure as possible we turned on all the lights and opened all the blinds in the room which made a massive difference when comparing shots. This would also make it easier to edit the wall if we needed to when we are editing. Overall we were successful in the filming session as I find we learn a great deal more about how to improve our filming and editing skills every time we film. For example, we realised the importance of a tripod and the difference in the outcome of shots it makes. Also, we all took turns filming, this allowed us all to give our own unique view own the shots we were taking whilst still keeping to the decided on the layout (storyboard) we had created as a group. It also allowed everyone to improve on their filming skills.
