Test filming take 2

Before shooting our actual film trailer we decided to have another go and shooting shots from our storyboards so that we could get a good understanding of how to use shots effectively and how many are needed for a minute and a half trailer. Now did have one go at filming but i didn't turn out as successful since it was our first time and we weren't familiar with the various error that can easily be encountered when filming such as: misplaced props, bad lighting and reflections etc.

This time around the filming turned out to be much better since not only did we take into consideration the errors that occurred last time but also we had our main actress (who portrays the role of 'Angela') with us which was much better since because of her the shots turned out better in terms of emotion and authenticity plus she got a idea of what the character it like which will be very beneficial through out the film since she already know how to portrayal 'Angela'. We decided to use more important scenes in our storyboards since they would be the harder ones to shot and having that experience now would benefit us when it comes to the actual filming. The shots them selves turned out really well compared to last time since we avoid the errors we made before and shot the same scene several time in order to get the best result for the editing process.  

We plan to film this Friday and this second shooting tryout has really helped us to use camera more effectively and prepare for the actual filming.  


NOTE: When the filming does take place we will be using the inside of a church building for some or our scenes. We did however get permission from the vicar to use these premises.
