Re-Filming....
As a result of our original filming work, we have had to re-film all of our footage due to the camera and tape we used the first time not being compatible with the editing software on the computers.
Although a slight glitch in the process, we have managed to keep on track with everything due to knowing what we needed to do in terms of footage and shots and with everyone being availible on most days we have almost got everything done!

Newspaper - Chloe McGlinchey
Whilst Hannah and Gareth were starting on the editing of the bits of filming we had done, myself and Matt thought we would make our newspaper prop for some car scenes. As our film is being based around more social realism as we have gone on we have encountered using "Tiredness Can Kill" slogan if you like. We had been researching articles and images on the internet and in the end we had produced the above. To make it more newspaper like we will cut and stick what we have done on to a previous newspaper to make it more realistic.

Camera Shots
With our filming, we decided as a group that the shots we took for our film, looked better when the camera was hand held. We felt that this gave the shots we took a different feel to them. We also thought that we would be able to show the footage from the characters point of view, and what he can see. We felt this way would make it feel more realistic and with a slight shake, to add to the tension that he feels throughout, but some shots are made with a tripod. All of the driving/car scenes used a tripod as there is already a lot of movement in the shots.

Technology Discussion - Gareth Allen and Chloe McGlinchey
The camera that we started to film with for our short film was a camera of poor quality when it came out on the computer. This meant that we needed to use a camera with higher quality, a mini DV camera was used. Once we put this onto the computer, we found that there was a drastic change in the quality of the shots we had filmed.
We did try some different angles when it came to filming. We tried doing shots from on the ground to only show the characters feet. This didn't give away who the characters were and what they were doing except they were moving. We did this also for a match on action shot of Matt getting out of his car. We are also going to try and create a split screen with the sets of footage that we filmed at the same time.
From our work last year, we have found that we have developed other ways in which the camera can be moved to keep the focus on people in the film. For one of our shots, we went on a footbridge that overlooked a road near our filming location. We used a tilt for watching Matt driving his car under the bridge. This was an improvement from last year as we only used a pan movement for the camera.
We found that most of the shots that we came up with in the planning part of this project we were able to produce. This was good as it meant that we didn't need to think about how we were going to create some shots.

More Filming...
Wednesday 17th & Friday 19th February 2010
More filming was completed on the two days stated above. Although two members of the group were unable to attend due to work commitments, the other two members of the group found parts of the filming which could be done with just the two of them.
Most of the film is quite hard to do with just the two people, so these parts were left to do when another if not all of us were there.

Filming Continued...
Monday 15th February 2010
Today we produced more of our film and tried to complete as much of it as we could.
Whilst deciding on the parts of the film we were going to film, we found another location along with the others named, that adds another variety of action in the film along the road of Parish Lane, near the scrapyard itself.
Once completed that filming, we decided as a group, due to the fact that the scrapyard in which we are using is only accessable at an earlier time than we want, we have added a dream element to the story which will enable us to use the scrapyard in more daylight as though it has already happened and therefore not battling with light problems.

First Day of Filming - 9th February 2010
Today (9th February) we started on filming for our final project.
Due to the demands our film has of setting, we did have to wait a little bit for the right light for us to film in, as when we originally arrived, it was too light.
This isnt the only time we are planning to film. Due to many members of the group being unavailable for the rest of this week (wednesday, thursday, friday and the weekend), we have decided to continue filming as much as we can on Monday 16th February, and probably all of that week as well.
