Once the snow had cleared this meant we could carry on filming. The snow on the ground would mean that the continuity from previous shoots would not match the shots when it was dry. This is a very key point when thinking about filming. Other examples would be the type and amount of light, cars parked and costumes. All these aspects have to be discussed and though about prior to filming.
On Saturday 11th December, Group 2 completed just under four hours of filming.
During this time, the weather was very cold, which worked well for us, as people would be less inclined to go out, so there would be less interference with our filming.
One of the main problems of shooting handheld was the shakiness, however, after many takes, i managed to find a solution. If i locked my arm into my chest, and tried to walk as smooth as possible this would produce a clean shake free shot. If there is a good take, but you can still detect some movement, we can edit this out and make it smoother by using a program called 'Adobe After Effects.'
During this time, we filmed the rest of the opening sequence when the four friends are walking down the street. During these shots we experimented with focus pulls, shooting from different angles and shooting behind railings to give a different effect.
We filmed on Mount Nod Road which is located beside Dunraven School. This was an ideal shooting location, as it has 'no entry' from one direction, which decreases the flow of traffic. This was perfect for us, as there would be minimum interference with our filming.
