Today we started to film our opening on our location of Chelmsford town centre in the bank office. We managed to successfully complete all of our filming in one session and managed to use our time very efficiently and successfully. We did however come across some problems during filming which we had to work together to address and fix to get the best possible results. I found it quite difficult to keep the camera level as our tri-pod turned out to be faulty on the day and we were unable to stand in a way that ensured the camera was level. We decided to use a table and very slightly held the camera to one side when filming with the tri-pod to ensure it was level and we were able to quickly solve this problem.
We did also have some problems when we were attempting to do the tracking shots across the desk. We each tried to do the shot as it was a handheld shot and needed someone with a steady hand to film it. We found that I had the most steady hand and so I was in charge of this shot. I learnt that it is very difficult to get timings correct when filming, particularly with the tracking shots when you have to move at a certain pace as well as trying to keep a steady shot with good framing. We all equally contributed to the filming and attempted at filming each shot and so we were all able to contribute well to the filming of our piece and we managed to film all of our shots in one day of filming.
