On Day one of filming we completed the scenes we planned to shoot. Below is a short diary of what we aimed to shoot on Day 1, how we prepared our sets, and how the filming went. In this short diary we outlined what went well during the shoot, and if we could have improved anything.
DAY 2 of Production
Even though we planned to have 3 days of production, we managed to film the final scenes of our film on Day 2. Below is a short diary of what we aimed to film on Day 2, what went well, and what could perhaps have gone better.
DAY 3 of Production
After beginning to edit the footage we have already filmed, we used Production day 3 to film any last shots that we wanted to add in. Today we worked on the 'pull focus' shot that we wanted to use, and also some additional shots on the first location to add to the beginning of the film. Below is a short filming diary we kept whilst shooting to show the process we went through during the final day of filming.
Below are some photos that we took whilst preparing to film our 'Filming Diary' for Day 3 of Production.
We thought of different ways to make our filming diaries interesting, so instead of just sitting down and talking to the camera as we were initially going to do, Nikki suggested that we write down the narrative. This led to the idea of us using whiteboards, and even though we use them in all three video diaries, we tried to use them in different ways so that each diary was different.
After editing the footage we had filmed, we decided to add an extra scene to our film. This is how Day 4 of Production came about.
Day 4 of Production
Day 4 of production involved filming a whole new scene to add onto the beginning of our film. We decided that this would make sure that the audience understood what was going on in our film, because there is more than one storyline in our narrative. First is the main character's prejudice against a complete stranger based on her looks, and the second is the main character's relationship with her mum. In creating this additional scene, both storylines are fully explained.
Here is our completed Filming Diary.
