Filming - 4th March

Today we went to Gerrards cross after school to re-film our thriller opening. We needed to re-film due to shaky camerawork throughout and a distinct lack of narrative. Most of the group attended filming, however one member of the group was in GX throughout but didn't attend for social reasons. The overall session went well considering we had a tight time schedule as one of our actors needed to leave at 17:10. 

The most difficult shots have definitely been the opening establishing shot along with  all other panning shots throughout. I think that it is going to take a lot of retakes and a lot of practice to get these right however i think that it is vital that we put in the time to do so. This is because, where the establishing shot is concerned, it is the first shot seen and thus will provide the viewer with there important first impression of quality and narrative. Therefore i think it is vital that this shot in particular is perfectly shot. 

Other than the panning shot i think we achieved some great POV and OTS shots throughout the session. I also feel that the communication was vastly improved with members of the group taking time to listen to each other and give feedback where necessary.
