Filming for the project

We decided to base our setting in Oakwood Park, as provided us with lots of filming space, and for the majority of the time was mostly empty. In my group we all took on different roles of the positions which we would fill as the film crew. I volunteered to star in the movie, as for Izabell did the filming and Sophie did most of the directing. We came across having quite a few problems whilst filming the footage. To begin with the first time we filmed my hair was in plaits, and the day that we had returned to filming I had forgotten to put my hair in plaits and had no hairbands to be able to tie my hair with when we got there either, making us re-film what we had done so far due to continuity reasons. However we had only filmed very little footage so far meaning that it was not too large of an inconvenience to film again. Another issue we had was that the camera we first began to film with begun not working properly due to needing to be replaced with a new battery. Meaning we had to resort back to our first original camera that was given to us from the school. I had low hopes that both pieces of footage would match each other however as we have began to edit the movie, Sophie was able to change the saturation of the content making them blend in more nicely together, as well as now having less noticeable quality differences. Overall the filming experience was very fun, even though it took us multiple tries, and lots of visits to Oakwood Park we was able to understand how difficult and exciting it can be to film a real life movie.
