Today was a much better day, we made sure to book out the camera and room the day before so that we could the room all to ourselves. Once we got all the equipment for our production we went on our way, only to be stopped by another media class who wanted use the room quickly. Obviously there definition of 'quickly' was completely different to ours because they were in there for mostly a period of a lesson (50 minutes). Once they had finished we were placed in a crucial situation as we had less time then what we had expected. We went straight in there, expected the room and got into our costumes. I made sure that health and safety was thought about and so i made sure that there were no hazards while we were recording, moving the lighting that was arranged randomly around the room, we got straight onto recording.
Once we were all done and ready for recording, we placed our camera and tripod down and turned the camera on. The camera was white balanced before so it was just a matter of turning it on, standing in position and pressing the record button on the camera. The first scene was using me and Othman so we both had to stand out of frame so that the camera could not see use while we were set to appear.
We had to record the scene over and over again till we just got it perfect. Doing this scene pretty much ate out all the time we had for recording today. We marked off where the camera on its tripod was so that the next time we came to filming, we had it in the right position, keeping the continuity of our filming like we learnt from our continuity and preliminary tasks. Although today was not exactly how we expected, we were happy to actually get some filming done for the day and hopefully the next time we had to film that we would get a lot more done.
