Overview of filming.

I missed a lesson in media on the 12th of October.
Therefore I am writing a small overview of my take on how the filming and preparations leading up to the filming process went.
We began our filming on Monday the 12th of October (origionally we had planned to begin on Friday the 9th but, due to various reasons it had to be delayed to the Monday) Origionally we had planned to use the centre of Cambridge as our filming location however, in order to reduce travel inconvieniences for us and the cast we chose to film in college.
Although we had a smaller cast than we had initiated the size became a benefit, we were able to efficiently film what needed to be without any problems that could arise with having a larger cast. The costumes looked pretty good and although we hadn't represented as many social groups as we had intended we still had a range of stereotypical costumes that could represent the different social groups.
We were able to incorperate areas where lip-synching can be applied, and the footage looked good.
After a couple of hours of filming we felt it had been a success and chose to leave it there.
On Wednesday the 14th of October we continued our filming using our main character (Rob, the geek) as the focus. We filmed him in and around college where we felt necessary using various props to build his character such as, folders, books and his rucksack. A few of our friends were featured chasing Rob around college.
On Thursday the 15th of October we continued filming and got some more great footage including some involving another character, a nurse. The costume and settings we used looked very effective.
Overall I feel that the filming process has been a success and although a few small additions may need to be added the footage we produced is great. I believe it fits the genre we have chosen as there is performance along with experimental parts to it.

Much of what has been written here can also be seen in the previous blog.
