Filming Delay

After we had filmed half of the film, the next week the weather forcast was snow. We were unable to go out and film again without refilming all the work we had already done since it would be a continuity error. Luckily the snow did not last too long and we were able to go out and film again today since it had melted.
Today we experimented with different angles and ways to film the scenes we had decided.
This weekend I will take the camera, after James has finished shooting the running shots, and film the inbetween-the-storyline scenes. This will give us all the shots we need to edit together a rough draft to be ready by the deadline.

Started Filming

Internet has been down so was unable to post anything from home for a few weeks, but should be posting regularly from now.
Yesterday we could finally get a camera booked and we went out to start filming. We had a location planned, which you can see from the first set of recce shots. We decided to use this as we figured it would be a perfect location to get the main parts of the filming done.
However, when we set off, we had not checked the weather beforehand and found that it had started to snow just as we left the building, this could be a problem for continuity but luckily it was only light and it did stop by the time we reached the location.
We managed to get quite a lot of filming done, James (who is going to be the main actor for our production) got the main speaking section out of the way and several running scenes.

Plans for next time:

• Check the weather, and bring warmer clothing.
• Refilm several shots, just in case.
• Film some more forest shots.
• Get some of the other scenes filmed.
