Filming On Location-Day 3

Today was our last day of filming. We were filming our protagonist (Hacker) today. We were filming on locations at the Hacker’s house, the road that leads up to the Hacker’s house, a road further away from the Hacker's house, and up by the Garages. Today’s filming was our busiest shooting schedule out of the three shooting days. Our actor turned up on time wearing the correct and appropriate clothes. The actor had worked well and co-operated with us well, also being very patient with us crew members filming.

In today’s shooting we shot the number of shots which were: 3-14, 25-26, 29-35, and 37. We used many different types of filming equipment, as our aims were to try and film shots that were high standard to make the film stand out and be more exciting, engaging our audience with the action more. The equipment we used for today’s filming were a tripod, a dolly, a camera, steadi cam, tracking dolly.

The problems that occurred during this day of filming was firstly being the main one which was the transporting of the filming equipment. This became a difficulty for all of us crew members, as not all the equipment could be transported in one journey. This was when we were picking up the filming equipment that we had booked out for today’s shooting.

There were also small and minor issues with the constant weather changes in between filming of different shots. This became a minor worry for us crew members, but we were able to manage this issue by just waiting for the weather to change, so that the weather would stay the same when the shots cut from one straight to the one after. This was so there were no continuity errors.

There were some small difficulty filming all of today’s shots but it was only minor difficulties we crew members were facing and were able to manage them all easily.
