Second Day of Filming

Since we had double Media Studies during periods 4 & 5 Anthony, Harvey and I decided it would be wise it we tried to film what we could during the two hours. However we had a slight problem with the camera. Since everybody is trying to finish up their filming there are barely any cameras available for use and our group accidentally left the camera in the editing suite. When we arrived back it was gone so we had to use a weird camera that we weren't even sure worked. We quickly head to Anthony's house as he needed to get changed into his costume and we then headed to our location on foot.

Once arriving at our location we noticed that pretty much all the snow had melted. This was bad for us as we had previously been filmed in the snow and our new footage would look awful when added on to our old footage. We tried to film around this but it ended up looking awful. After filming for 20 minutes Michael arrived but quickly had to go because it was his Mother's birthday. While we were filming we all had our doubts about the camera as it was one that we never used before. We weren't entirely sure that the quality of the camera would be similar to the one we used previously. Since we were running low on battery Harvey, Anthony and I headed back to school. Anthony and I headed to the editing suite to take a look at our footage.

After we uploaded the footage Anthony and I both agreed that we would not use this footage as the quality was horrendous and it was uploaded to wide-screen format which looked terrible in contrast with our previous footage that was in full-screen. However these hours were not wasted as we figured out many great shots and plot points that we will be adding to our final film.
