Film log - Getting the filming done

We chose to get all our filming done in one hour long lesson. There were several reasons for this:

• Continuity purposes
• Time
• Area of filming
• Sickness

We thought, for continuity reasons, getting all the filming done in one go was important. We did not want to have to worry about what we were wearing or how we had our hair and try to replicate that on another day. Also, if we moved from the table where we were sat during filming, it may be harder to sit back in that exact position if we left and came back to it. A different sitting position is something else that would be noticed as a continuity error, something we did not want in our video.   

Time was another reason we pushed to get the filming done in the hour we had available. We wanted to make the most of that hour. We wanted to make sure we had plenty of time to get the editing and filming done before our deadline. We really wanted to make good use of the time we had available.  

Also, area of filming was important we did not know when the room would next be free and we did not want to start filming and come back the next day to find there was a lesson in the room. This would waste time waiting for a day when it was free or mean we would have to move onto a different room completely and start filming again. This was not an option.   

Lastly, we were worried about sickness. On this day everyone in our group was present and we wanted to get the filming done while we were all together. If we put of filming for another lesson, not only would this waste time but also if one of us was absent there could be complications. If Kirsty or Michaella were ill there would not be problem as they could take over each others roles. However, as we appear in the video, if Lotti or I was absent we would have to wait in till we were both in again once again wasting time and meaning we may not of reached our deadline. 

All these are important reasons to why we pushed our selves to get all our filming done in one hour.
