Shooting the Main Task

After coming back from the break we were ready to begin shooting the main task on the first day back; we brought all the props and equipment in and began shooting.

As we only had the room booked for two hours, and we would rather get all of the filming done in one day, so we didn't have to bring all the props and equipment back in, we split our group in two.

The first group, Bethany and Tessa, began shooting the simple sequences, so me and Lisa could go off and set up other, more complex props, such as the "crime investigation board" and the "chalk cut out" to save to time. This worked effectively, and all of the simple shots had been taken.

Before filming, as a group, we sat down and discussed how shooting should go; we discussed in what order the shots should be taken, to minimise wasting time, and to make sure none were left out.

When me and Lisa returned to help shooting, we worked together to shoot the more complex shots.

As a group, we feel that this shoot was a lot more successful than shooting the Preliminary Task, which we struggled with, and as a result, had to shoot several times.

At the end of the shoot we looked at the rushes briefly to ensure that we had got all the shots we needed.

In the next lesson we will look at the shots properly, and assess whether we need to re shoot certain shots again. However, we are confident that this shoot was a big success.
