Film log - When filming

Filming went well and luckily we did not have to many complications and managed to get the filming done in the hour we had available to us. 

We did redo a few shots several time but that was because we were not happy with how they were done or we missed out a line. Luckily it did not waste time redoing them. 

We were very aware when it came to continuity and made sure not to make any mistakes. Every time Michaella moved the camera to change who she was filming (being careful not to cross the 180 degree line) we stayed still so when she begun filming the other person we could carry on with our movement. 

We had not practice what we were going to say each time so every line we had to say, Kirsty told us what it was. I don't think it was a problem we did not remember what we were going to say as we wanted to get into the filming and having Kirsty there to help us made it easier and filming, i think, was much more efficient.

We changed a few bits to the storyboard as in one clip, Lotti pushes the chair over and then picks it up when she goes to sit back down. However, when we came to film this part we realized  that, because of the shape of the chair and the height of the table, it worked and looked better if she just pushed the chair behind her as she stood up then pulled the chair closer when she went to sit back down again. 

All these are only minor issues that happened in filming but did not effect time or our video in any way.  
We made the time we have available and spent most of it filming. The only time we were not filming was when we went to find the class room, when we were getting ready to film and the small gaps between filming each clip. I think we used our time efficiently
