filming process 2

This filming process we used:

• Video Camera
  


• Tripod
  


• Male actor
  


• Props (i.e. clothing; Jeans and plain shoes.)
  


• Location (Train Station)
  
  Our second day of filming we went to only to the train station as this was all that was needed. Due to some circumstances we couldn’t get hold of Chris Stubbs to re-film however, as we only needed to film from the waist down, we could have some-one with a similar build and similar clothing to that which he wore on the day and because of this Jack Blenkinsopp filled in the role of Chris.
  
  The weather for the second filming process was sunnier then it was for the previous day of filming which could affect the lighting that we had. As we filmed this mid-afternoon the sun was in the right position and the trees behind the station filtered the light so, when it came to editing the footage there was no clear distinction in the different weather types.
  
  All we had filmed on this particular day was Jack walking up and down one platform of the station whilst recording him on the opposite. The train station was a lot busier on this day due to the date and time of day, luckily we needed the platform that no-one was using, however this generated more background noise, and many people did walking into the frame meaning we would have to re-film. We overcame the ambient sounds by turning down all the sounds down when editing and placed a voice over so that it wasn’t too quiet.
  
  Another problem that we encountered was that the tripod was still stiff when we were panning up and down the platform filming Jack. We overcame this problem by adjusting the tripod so that it loosened and we also directed Jack to walk at a slower pace.
  We used two camera shots in this process; this was a pan and a static medium close-up. We used the pan when we were following Jack as he walked up the platform of the station with and the static medium close-up was used when we filming Jack looking agitated and nervous and moving his feet.
