Reflection on filming

When we started filming we had to constantly think about continuity. If we had forgotten we may have filmed a lot but on the wrong side of the 180 degree rule and would have needed to re-film it all. We tried to film hastily, going from one shot to the next so we still know our whereabouts for the next shot which would then help with continuity. We had an issue with sound in our film as we weren’t talking loud enough compared to the other 6th formers in the common room. To overcome this we just filmed ourselves saying it closer to the camera and dubbed over our voices. We corresponded to all the rules while filming throughout. We wanted our setting to look like a cafe so we used to common room kitchen area for filming. The only prop we used was a cup, we used this so we could include more match on action with me drinking from it. We filmed each shot a couple times and when we had spare time we filmed a few extra retakes of some shots; we had to film some extra shots to help with continuity such as a close up of Emma placing the cup on the table.
