On Wednesday 5th February we filmed for the best part of a whole morning, shooting on location in Alexandra Park, capturing all the footage we needed of exterior shots. The weather seemed to be in our favour, yet the coldness of the Wintery weather proved a bargain, adding to the cold and thrilling nature, mood and tone of the exterior shots.
We made sure that we had at least two or three takes on each shot, referring to my storyboards each time, so that we had more choice whilst editing in the post-production process. I would set-up the camera in position for each shot, sometimes discussing a particular shot angle for at least 5-10 minutes, then would be part of the action in front of the camera, Josh Emily and Chloe helping by simply pressing the "Record" button on and off.
I had questioned my position in front of the camera, as I felt that I would not have as much time behind the camera as I would have liked. However, as our lecturer sparked up hopes of A-Level Drama Students acting-out the scenes whilst we could execute our different tasks, we fell into the same unfortunate position as the rest of the groups in our lecture, where all hopes had been destroyed. Josh's friend Aidan had promised to step-in as "The Shadow", but a week before he opted out of acting, and I persuaded Josh to act as "The Shadow".
The following Wednesday 12th February, we filmed the remaining shots to do, the interior shots. We had previously speculated about the location of the interior shots, and came to the conclusion that we would have to film inside our College building. We decided to use the Media Studio rather than our classroom, as the sound would all go "in sync". On the whole everything went according to plan and our careful planning lead to a marathon run of capturing footage that morning. We had captured more interior footage than exterior footage, yet this didn't matter because overall we had more than we needed from both locations.
