Filming: First day filming

Yesterday my group and I had our first filming session for the priest scene. It is only a short scene but is vital for the film to go a head as the film starts with the man watching TV with the priest being interviewed by the news. Our location for this short scene is in front of a local church as it was a very short scene with little dialogue and movement it was very easy to film. As there were so many sides of the church were we could film we had to try various places to see which one looked better. After we had found this place we set up the camera, our actor and started shooting. However we didn't think of the weather when we decided when to film and unfortunately it started to snow very heavily. This made it very difficult for Oscar (our actor) to be heard and also for me, Beth and Imogen who were filming to cover the camera up so it wouldn't break. However despite this complication me and the other girls found it particularly easy to do. We finished filming quickly as temperatures were dropping but we looked over the footage and agreed that it was exactly what we were looking for.

Overall now that we have this footage we can now start filming the rest of our film for our rough cut.
