Filming

As our media lesson takes place after school hours, it's provided us with a great opportunity to get our filming done as we'll be able to use the big space of the school but without having lots of students and teachers around.
We filmed each scene in order of how we wanted to put it together in our final piece. We started off in the study room which was quite busy as it's used quite a lot after school but this didn't affect our work as we were able to use a corner of the room where nobody else was working. We filmed the scene three times to ensure that we didn't miss anything important.

Afterwards we went into the corridors of school as most people had left by then, and anybody who was still in the school were in meetings or in after school clubs so weren't walking around. We were able to film quite easily out here as we had a lot of space to use and a lot of room to film from. Originally, we were going to show Emma sat with her friend in the stairwell but we found a seat in the corridor which provided us with much better lighting and gave us clearer footage. It was also easy to film from a high angle because of the different levels in the school.

Filming the scenes where Emma was in the projection room was probably the hardest part as it was quite dark. Also, because the room is like a box outside of the wall, it was very hard to find a place to film. We ended up filming from the balcony outside but it was quite hard to film good quality images as the zoom made the room look very fuzzy.

We had quite a fun time filming, and all four of us gave input and used our initiative if we thought we should change or develop something. It was quite a long process, but we still managed to finish it within one session.
