1. Production Log
Date – Monday 26th
January 2015
Today me and my group filmed our trailer. We had to wait until it turned
dark outside so we could film. We had to try and do all the filming on that
day because we were behind schedule. It was our last week to film, we
managed to film all the things we needed.
I was personally responsible for the camera because my role was the
camera person. I needed to set up the camera before filming, move the
camera around while filming to make sure the shot was perfect and
make sure the camera or tripod didn’t fall or anything. I had to make sure
the position and perspective of the camera was perfect. I also had to
decided and use different shot types and different shot lengths, so not
just keep the camera at the same angle or it would be boring. For
example the different shot types we used were close up (CU), full shot
(FS) and extreme long shot (ELS).
We didn’t have a lot of problem, there were only a few bits where I
accidently pressed the stop button when I wasn’t supposed to and there
were times where I forgot to press the record button. But after every
scene that I was supposed to record, I went and checked on the gallery
to see if I recorded it right. Also, when I was watching the clips it was
really quiet but that wasn’t a problem because I was able to watch the
clips on the mac after I uploaded them.
The effect it had on us is that it took up a lot of time because we had to
make sure each scene was filmed properly.
