Preliminary Task - Filming

Filming went as expected. We focused on the exterior shots first, filming multiple takes in order to make it easier at the editing stage. Working from the storyboard, with Vicente as cameraman and both of us taking the director role, we managed to film quite quickly. Moving onto the interior shots, the decision was made to insert a shot that wasn't on the storyboard, a point-of-view shot of my feet walking as we thought that this would look quite creative. We particularly focused on gaining multiple shots of the opening and closing of the door as we understood that that segment would need to look smooth or it would look amateur and unrealistic. For the conversation, as we had only one camera, I came up with the idea of filming the conversation twice. The first take would focus on Oliver's face, the second take on my face. This allows us to switch easily between the shots when editing whilst the conversation still looking natural. Overall, I think that the filming process has run very smoothly as we have managed to finish in the time limit. I believe that we have a sufficient amount of footage to work with in editing, and as we have four hours for editing, I think that we will be able to complete it without any trouble.
