10th January

Today we filmed furthermore shots. Today we found out that the deadline was arriving sooner than we imagined so we had to come up with a quick way of getting more shots done. We knew our original plan that we put on our story boards was not going to be the same as what we was going to film but we kept it similar by slightly changing our location from the story boards as we found some shots or choices off scenery were not right to film in. When we looked into filming in a park, we needed to be filming an over the shoulder sot of four people holing newspapers of the fantastagirls; when it came to realistic thinking all park benches was on grass so the footage would be jumpy if we used the dolly to pan it along. We changed our minds and asked around for four smartly dressed sixth formers to participate in our filming, we explained to them if they did not feel comfortable when we as filming they  had the right to withdraw (the ethical issues). We experimented both using the dolly, tripod and camera to pan across left to right then right to left. We found that it was much clearer to see the newspapers it we did it reverse order (right to left). We also had trouble filming with one of our shots that was suppose to have a person walking down the street with a phone to show the mobile app which revealed more details for the fantastagirls, but the over the shoulder shot did not show the app well. We had trouble filming this shot as we needed to have the camera literally millimetres away from the actor so we could see what was appearing on the screen but we had trouble with getting the dolly caught on the actors foot. So instead we have changed it to a person in a office, however it is still an over the shoulder shot so we kept some the same.
