Successful filming day!

I think Monday was the first time our group has said we'll do something and actually followed through! So that alone, is an achievement. We all met at 9 in the morning, which again, another achievement, worked out really well as it was particularly bright out, which made perfect filming conditions. The car park was also perfectly quiet and eerie due to it being such an inhumane time to be up, especially during a half term...
Firstly we filmed Anna coming out from the lift, into the car park, which again links strategically well with the shots we did in the school lift. We chose to film Anna holding the red jacket in her arms as we wanted to highlight her transformation, as this is the key element to our film. Originally we were going to have Anna emerge from the lift with her sleek black blazer on, but then we thought the change may be a bit vague for the audience to identify. With this thought in mind, we thought most effective move would be that Anna gets the jacket from inside the boot of her car, where she quickly and efficiently puts in on.
A perfectly placed trolley was also in the car park which of course caused for the famous dolly/tracking shot technique. Although here, we ended up doing some sort of 360 degree shot of Anna, as well as the car, which actually worked really well, hopefully it looks just as good when we upload it to iMovie next week

Overall, Monday was the most productive filming session we could have asked for!! We managed to get all the shots we'd spoken about, as well as new and intresting ones from different angles, in order to stick to our plan of 'fast paced' shots throughout! Hopefully, we never have to return to the freezing cold car park and that when we upload the footage, everything is perfect, with our group it seems, their is always a hitch.. However, so far, we are so happy we've finally got out there and filmed, what is hopefully, our final scenes.

Here are a few snaps of the mornings adventures, as well Rachel and Sinead, or as we re named them..Phil and Grant.
