Update 8/12/13

Yesterday afternoon I had to go out and do some filming, and quite a lot of re-filming. I got the individual shots that I needed to get for the introduction section of the film all done, and hopefully ready to go up. I had to re-film all of the car scenes, due to the unavailability of the original car driver, and to keep up continuity, everything had to be re-done. A new location has been selected, however, it's somewhat worse than the original. I have had to go for my next best option, which is my games room, which is small and in a state; meaning I have some work to do tidying it, before the next filming day!

As far as I'm aware, it all went well yesterday. I am slightly concerned that the low, bright sun may have caused some issues with the car scenes, and might make the footage hard to use. I'm sure with some colour manipulation, this issue could be resolved fairly easily. 

I will be uploading and editing what I got today, starting from Wednesday, and should be ready for the weekend.

Filming - Day 2

Performance Filming

Yesterday evening I began and completed my performance filming. It seems as though it went well, although I haven't watched it back at all yet, so I am ready to be disappointed when I see it in a moment when I upload the new footage. My biggest concern is the fact that none of my actors can actually play instruments at all, so I hope this doesn't come across too bad on screen. 

I will now start to edit the footage, and see how it looks!

Filming

1st Day Of Filming

On Saturday I done my first little bit of filming. I ended up doing the car scenes, and the first few scenes; because these were the easiest shots to do. 

Unfortunately, I was highly time-bound, because Luke (the driver) had to attend a family party, therefore only allocated one hour to me. Most of the shots seemed to be good when I watched back on the television, however some did not look good at all. This may be due to rushing it! However, possibly with some editing, these shots could end up being alright. 

Also, two of my original actors could not make it, so I replaced it with one other actor, and only had three, as opposed to four. Steven (the main character) was great, as expected, but my two other actors appeared to be very nervous and camera shy; I hope this doesn't come across too heavily on the edited edition.

Today I will be editing what I've got, seeing whether the shots are good enough, and whether or not I will need to go out again, and get some more shots.
