1st day of Filming

1st Day of Filming

(not one to remember for me)

On the 5th of December 2013, it was the first day that we had the chance to go out and film one of our opening scenes which is in the playground located near All Saints School. This was exciting times as we haven't had the chance to film before due to some of our team members being unavailable due to timetable clashes. The weather conditions did not exactly help as it was extremely windy which actually led to an accident involving me and the camera!! The weather really was not kind to our filming because in the footage, the camera was swaying from side to side in the birds-eye view shots when the camera was unattended at the top of a slide. As the camera was left unattended and the record button was pressed, the wind was so strong that it blew the tripod off the slide and it just so happened to land on my head as I attempted to catch the camera as it is very expensive. Thankfully I caught the camera but unfortunately the tripod hit me on the side of my face and left quite a bad cut on my eyebrow. Anyway other than that accident, we managed to get some decent footage completed and it set us up to go and film in London as we where able to see what went well and perhaps what didn't go according to plan.
