Filming Footage #3

Almost yet another week gone in our journey to completing our opening for a teen horror movie and we find ourselves ready to go and film more footage for the third time in as many weeks. The Lighthouse Theatre once more the destination for the production team. In similar fashion to that of the previous two trips, we set off for The Theatre early on during the day in order to make the long walk up towards our destination. After discovering such a level of success as we had the week before we decided we would bring with us the same equipments and props as to that we did previously. We decided this because we saw today as more of a second attempt at filming some of the shots we feel we didn't manage to really nail last week.

In order to try and prepare ourselves correctly for what we hoped to become the final filming session we would have to undertake as a production team we decided that we would put together a shot list of the shots we NEEDED to get. In order to do this we decided that whilst reviewing our footage from the previous training session that we would decide which shots we feel we could improve upon. We produced a shot list and took this resource with us in order to try and make the whole filming process run a lot more smoothly and work more time efficiently. During our time at the theatre this evening we also decided that we would improvise because we managed to get all the shots we had included upon the shot list with time to spare. I let Jordan and his creative instincts lose with the camera and he is very confident that he has offered the team as a whole a different range of shots that will help to improve the overall effect of the final production.

Leaving the theatre the basic feel amongst the group was very positive. We left with the feeling that we have been very successful in the footage that we have acquired in respect to the footage we went in search off.  But this feeling may not be felt once we have reviewed the footage, as we have in the past, we may notice one or two errors that have been made during filming or one or two things that we feel could simply be improved upon. The next step for the production team of Breaking The 4th Wall is to go and review our footage, we will then make our decision on whether we want to re-film any footage or we wish to continue through the production stages, and finally move into the editing stage.
