Story Telling Unit: "The Meeting" - Update

Right... I haven't blogged in a while so firstly, Happy Easter!


Before the holidays I began my filming for my trailer. I encountered various problems pretty much straight away as my pre arranged actors decided not to tell me they couldn't make it on day one of filming. This wasn't so bad as I had the camera for three days, but when they again failed to inform me they wouldn't be there for day two things started to get manic. On my last day with the camera I filmed what I could using my classmates as my actors (thanks to those who helped me out!), they did a great job however the shots I captured were not exactly what I wanted due to the last minute changes. It got dark quick and the location I filmed in had awkward lighting, the alley was too dark and the street was too bright to begin with. I captured a good shot in good light conditions but various other factors meant I couldn’t use the shot. For instance, two men (possibly drunk) decided to stop Tory and ask her if she needed help as she argued with Kevin. Although it was genuinely real it wasn't part of the shot and interrupted the flow of the scene meaning we had to stop and re shoot as it quickly got darker and darker. I have re booked the camera for another three days, Monday - Wednesday next week, where I hope to re shoot and complete my filming for my trailer!
