Filming Process.

We began filming as soon as we had finished our Storyboard and gathered our props. In order to film we had to book a camera from the media area a week before, in order to do this we had to fill out a booking form in which we had to answer all the relevant questions; we had to say where the equipment was to be used and who was using it and also we had to talk of the dangers involved and how we going to prevent any accidents happening when using the equipment (this is important for our safety and the safety of the equipment).
The first thing that was had to do once we had all the equipment was to set it up. We had lights, a tripod, a video camera and a still camera also. Setting up took approximately 20-25 minutes (a lot longer than we expected).

We put the lights in a certain position depending the shot.

We had to make a scrap board as one of our props.

We had to put the scrap board correctly into the light.

These lights are very powerful a create a good image on camera.


Our Scrap board looked well lit because of the light.

We had our shooting script out so that we were able to know what we had to shot and how long for, this came in very handy as we couldn't remember everything.

The first thing that we shot was a doll that we were using as a prop, we had to do a close up of her face out of focus and then slowly come into focus. We attempted this shot about 6 times just in case, but also the camera kept on shaking as we changed the focus, even after this the shot still wasn't good enough qualilty so we done it again but about 9 times and we finally found one that was good.
