GROUP: Filming update

During the half term we planned to shoot some of our footage. We have successfully shot in 2 different locations and we are all extremely pleased with the footage we took.

The firework scene worked out very well, but we had slight problems regrading some aspects:

  • The Fire - we ran into problems keeping the fire a constant size in order to keep the continuity of our piece, to resolve this we constantly had to rebuild the fire.



  •  The Fireworks - whilst filming the actual fireworks it was hard to predict where they would explode so tracking each explosion on camera, whilst keeping the shot smooth and steady was extremely challenging, but we had already thought about this, so bought extra fireworks to guarantee we got enough footage of the fireworks, and if necessary can edit different fireworks together in Premier.

We also had some problems at Brighton

  • Because we shot within a school holiday the beaches and attractions were far busier, so we had to spend longer waiting to shoot, and on some occasions had to ask people to move so we could film. This did not effect our footage very much, but meant it took slightly longer than anticipated. 

Overall we are extremely pleased, and we feel our time management and planning has greatly increased since last year, as we were working to a precise schedule with a very detailed storyboard 
it meant filming was far more time effective
