Chase filming, the main shoot.

Thrsday 31st.
Today Raina and I were doing the main filming. I brought in props as agreed, but unfortunatly we had to change location of the medical room to the medical room in the longly building. We managed to get most of the shots needed, a few more takes have been rescheduled for tomorrow and the photographs but i can happily say were near enough finished. Some bits diddent come out quite as we hoped and we had to move the postion of the camera because we couldnt quite get the angles right but the speical effects were really good and came out better than i expected. unfortuantly we had to cut filming short in the medical room as the secruity gaurd that was supervising the room got called back to college but he was a big help. We'v looked through the tape and got some good shots that we will definatly be able to use some of the others are questinable but we will be able to smooth them out during editing. im about to go onto the logging sheet so well be deciding which shots were definatly going to use which ones need work and which will be scrapped.

Chase filming, Starting shooting.

Monday 28Th.
Unfortunately i was unable to finish my last few bits of paperwork over the weekend as i didn't have the bits i needed to refer to which means i had to spend the first 10 minutes of today's lesson doing it. Raina and I were shooting some of our photos today for our opening sequence but we had to keep retaking and stopping which means we only got a few, we will be filming on Thursday all day so we've decided any photos needed and any retakes will be done on Friday. we solved the dilemma of a male character, Stuart our classmate has agreed to help we both assured him it would not interfere with his own filming so its actually better were taking the photographs on Friday now instead because this is predominantly what hes needed for and he is likely to have finished filming by then.

Chase Filming Pre production

Friday the 25Th
Today i finished the budget, Raina also completed hers. We had a Production meeting with Chris, going through all our paper work and seeing what each of us had done and what we still had to complete, I have to finish my story board and shooting schedule and make a few alterations to the script. Chris went over our 'recce's' (risk assessment forms) said that they are all fine we just have to see him on the day we intend to film in those locations so he can sign them. Raina and i then went through what equipment were going to need and what days were going to need it which i noted down as a equipment booking sheet and then gave to Nina. so all that's left to do now is finish those last bits of paperwork for Monday then we can start filming.

Chase Filmning

I'm working in a team with Raina.
We have got to film a short film sequence. We will be filming inside the College and will have to film a person being chased and come up with a concept as to why that person is being chased, however we actually be showing the person they are being chased by. so far are main idea for a concept is a mental patient who is paranoid and thinks he is being chased and is trying to run away from themselves in a way. We hope to use Different camera angles to help build tension and drama.
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
