PRODUCTION LOG UPDATE

10/9/14 | PLANNING | DRAWING THE FIRST STORYBOARD

We split the storyboarding process between the three of us in our group, and we drew whatever part of the storyboard we had written up for the shot list. I story boarded from the beginning shot to the moment when the title appears on screen. I drew rough sketches for every shot; although not a lot of the shots I story boarded included people. We then put all our story boards together to create the final storyboard. It was important that we did this before we started filming so that we had a good idea of exactly what shots we needed to film.

29/10/14 | PRODUCTION | FILMING

Over this half term break Harriet, Amber and I met up and filmed for a day. We filmed using a Canon D60 video camera and a tripod to create steady shots. We filmed several quick shots from when Erica (played by me) is at home and going to bed, when she gets back up and escapes out of her window and when she comes back to her room again and goes back to bed. Amber was in charge of makeup, I contributed costumes and Harriet did a lot of the actual filming. We all contributed in setting up shots as we each had our own ideas as to how to construct each shot and we each had a turn at filming. Amber did a lot of directing the shots.

We spent 4 hours filming these scenes as we tried to get the same shot from different angles and shot types to make the film more interesting and draw attention to certain shots. Overall this filming was successful as we managed to film quite a lot of the shots we needed and included a range of shot types such as close ups, mid shots and mid-long shots.
