Filming Day 1.

The day we filmed for our opening went really well.
We were allowed to go out and film during one of our Media lessons so we all gathered together and headed down towards our set location. When we got there, it looked perfect. There were leaves everywhere, it was a bit damp, and not too cold which was ideal because it was the first type of weather we used and it didn't matter if it rained or if the sun came out but thankfully, it stayed the same and a bit foggy. After getting the camera set up, we began filming. We did so many takes using our story board that we actually lost track of time. We started filming at 1 and finished at about half 4 which is when it began to get dark. There were so many cuts because certain things didn't look right which we would have to change like a position of the camera or Elisha's position on the bike. We tried to use as many of our shots from our story board as we could but some just didn't look right however, we thought of alternatives instead which helped us a lot so that we weren't stuck on what to do. The whole day was pretty consistent. We always came up with a solution if something wasn't working. There were thankfully no arguments, we all just contributed our own ideas and tried to incorporate them all. For our first day of filming properly, I think we did really well and I can't wait to do more. It just depends if the weather holds out for us. The video below shows our edited footage so far. It's not very long however outtakes will be coming soon to show how much we did behind this.
