Meeting 2:

These are the shot of the house we were filming in front of. We met up on Saturday March the 1st and done half of our opening sequence, just the opening scene. One of the things that went wrong was there were only 2 crew members there because the third person could not be available. And one of the characters was not available that day to be filming with us but that is okay because he is not in the first scene so we could do without him. One of the things that went wrong at last minute was that we changed the location as one of the crew members walked all the way as they did not have their oyster with them. So this meant that we could not go to our desired location with a form of transport. So we walked for a couple of minutes till we saw houses that would go well with our opening sequence. We found a couple of houses, chose one and filmed. Having one of the crew member away meant that we would struggle a little when it came to filming, directing and holding the microphone when needed. However, we managed because Ramaine did the filming because he knew how to and it was his role, I helped him set up everything. Also, I held the mic when one of the characters were talking so we managed in the end. We filmed the first scene of the opening sequence in time which was really good but one of the two problems we faced was that we did not know how to set up the "tracking/dolly" so we wasted a little time trying to figure out and in the end we were not sure if it was right but we managed to film without it so everything went well. Another problem we faced was the camera was moving a little shaky due to the tracking/dolly was not stable properly and the location we decided to film at was very noisy with cars constantly passing by. However, in the end, it all worked out as the mic helped the characters voice come through more clearly than the background noise. Another problem we faced was when we got back to college to return the equipment, Marvin accidentally erased all the footage we had filmed thinking that we had already had the footage inserted into the computer. So everything we had filmed was now gone. So we decided to meet up again to film either on Wednesday this week or on the weekend, either on a Saturday or Sunday. Everyone, including the crew and the cast are free hopefully so we will begin shooting again. We decided to come out earlier than the time we came out last time so we will have enough time to film from the begging to the end. If we do not get to finish the ending then we will come out another day to film.
