I beleive that the filming of the weekend 23rd of November till the 26th of November, went generally well. On the Friday, 23rd November, I had started to film within my own home, this allowed me to maximise the amount of filming time that I had available to me for the day as we had started later than usual, around 2pm. The filming that I had completed this day was of good quality, it include scenes where I had one of the actors "Tied up" to a fake bomb that I had created on a laptop, this is just a program I had created in computing to countdown from 1:00, it will allow for the trailer to create suspension in the viewer and give them a reason to watch as they want to know the outcome.
On the Sunday of the weekend of filming the 25th of November, I believe it was extremely successful, this is due to the fact that we went to preform filming within Longton Park and the weather was clear and not raining, this allowed for me to maximise the amount of time I had for filming and allowed me to film multiple scenes that day, such as Chase scenes & a scene where the main villain can be seen with the main actor. I also had time to film master-shots of the Gun in the filming to allow for the genre of the film trailer to be established right from the start.
On Monday of the weekend of filming 26th of November, I believe that this day was extremely unsuccessful, this is due to the fact that the weather was dark and raining that day, this meant that the amount of time I could spend filming this day was at a minimum. On this day we also started later than usual, at the time of 3:30 as one of the actors needed to attend college that day, this also added to the fact that a minimum amount of filming was preformed this day. Despite the weather and time being against me, I still managed to film a few scenes within my home on that day, as the weather was unacceptable to film outside, this allowed for me to not waste a day I had planned for filming and to use it as effectively as possible.
I will attempt to film again on the next weekend, December 1st till December the 3rd, this will allow me to maximise the amount of time I have in class for editing the film and also the amount of time I have filming as the most productive the previous week was Saturday/Sunday.
Previous Filming; Dates - 29th October, 30th October, 1st November, 2nd November & 31st October, 3rd November, 4th of November for editing.
I believe that the filming process upon the dates, 29th-30th of October & 1st-2nd of November went well, Firstly the 29th of October, I used this filming time to record footage within the Phoenix Park behind section, I first decided to film the scene where the criminal had been caught and let away accidentally, due to unforeseen circumstances of one of the main actors not being available often as planned, I have had to edit the general plan of the movie to replace him with a lone main role actor, used previously within the filming, for this reason the filming that I have recorded on this day, will still be used, but cannot be used in the same comedic effect as I was hoping for before, this saves me from having wasted a day of filming.
On the 30th of October, I attempted to film in a more dark setting than previously, this proved to be futile as the video in editing turned out to be completely black as there was not enough lighting for the camera to be able to pick up the picture, the sound files of this day are still usable, but the recorded footage is not. Luckily on this day I also decided to film the exterior of the police station as the intro of the trailer, this went successfully and allowed me to not have wasted an entire day due to bad lighting.
On the 1st of November, I re-filmed the scenes that I had filmed within the dark setting, this allows me to have access to the previously recorded sound within the same scene in darkness, and the video within the lighted scene if they are both needed.
On the 2nd of November, I did not record this day as the weather was unsuitable for filming, instead for this day I added it to my list of editing as previously mentioned.
I have also listed other days that I have used for time with the camera, but not for filming, these are dates that I had used for editing, due to I having to re-create some scenes of the film and change my design plan slightly, the scenes that I have edited within these days are generally useless as I now only have one main actor, though some scenes can still be used, just not to the same effect as I had edited them. ~ 31st October, 3rd November & 4th November
