The Shoot

The people that I was going to use for my production were Jamie, Reece, Ryan and Ryan’s girlfriend Charlotte. However, a couple of days before the shoot Ryan split up with his girlfriend and therefore I was unable to use her in my production. I had trouble finding someone suitable for the role but eventually found someone – my sister Hannah – who was willing to do it in time for the shoot.

The shoot at the final location went well. The only problem was that there was a lot of rain, so we had to wait until it had stopped so we could film the outside scenes. The props worked well in the scenes and made them look more realistic for the viewers. The only problem with the costumes were that Hannah had the wrong type of shoes so we had to find different ones that were suitable and also Ryan didn’t have a white t-shirt, only a light blue one but it looks white on the camera. One of the shots that was difficult to get was the aerial shot as I didn’t have anything to stand on, I had to climb up a ladder which isn’t as high as I would have liked the shot to have been but once I include the time stamp and recording symbol onto the shot it should look like a security camera. Another problem was for certain shots such as the aerial and low level shots I was unable to use a tripod, so had to make sure that the camera was kept steady and was leaning against something to get a steady shot.

  1. Good, there are lots of ways to rig up a dolly at a low level, we do have a skateboard that we can modify- let me know before you film.
