Meeting #2 - Practice Filming

For our second meeting, my group decided to meet up and look around for shot locations and practice with the camera which was needed as our opening sequence was mostly filmed in the dark. We practised with the camera so we could get an idea of what sort of lighting we would need in a dark scene, or if we'd use just then natural lighting from the street if there was no power mains nearby to plug in our own lighting. As you can see in the image of the left, there is some of our filming equipment.

The area that we went to practice our filming was Malden Manor. We took pictures of some shot locations and other points of interest which were similar to our initial storyboard. During this meeting, my group and I decided to take some practice shots just to see if the lighting was correct and if the shot that we took was good enough, we could've even used it as a part of our opening sequence. During the practice shooting, I had a lot of fun acting in the suits that were going to be used in our opening sequence and using the camera.


Here, the image of the left you can see myself (right) and Alex (left) in our suits and costumes which was a part of our mis en scene for our opening sequence. During this meeting of our practice filming, I used the camera to get a feel of it and I also used the tripod. As an overall, I thought the night was great as I and the others had a lot of fun and had some good practice with the camera and found some cool shooting location at Malden Manor.
