Last day of filming!

18/2/2011

It was the last day of filming, and me Aaliyah and Jessica was the only people that were meant to be filming because everyone else had finished filming their parts. Me and Aaliyah came into school wearing our costumes, unfortunatley Jessica didnt know she was meant to be filming with us and so she did not come wearing the right costume. With the help of one of our teachers, he was able to crop parts of Jessica out so that you could not see her incorrect costume.
  We filmed quite a few scenes, e.g. me and Aaliyah did some more running scenes across the hallways and corridors and down some stairs. We did the scene where Tammy(me) finds courtney(Aaliyah) and Kourtney(Jessica) and explains how Dawn(Shanel) died and this is also the scene where Tammy admits how she believes Courtney about the story she told everyone. Another scene that we did was when Tammy and Courtney had to set up the camera outside the cupboard and then hide. After we had finished filming our short productin we all went off to edit it.
  During the past few weeks i have learnt quite a lot about filming and how to be an actor and how things work, in the begining i found it very difficult to gasp onto the ways of acting, bu the more and more that i was filming i felt for comfortable infront of the camera and more confident. Actually being behind the scenes and working the camera was really fascinating, i learnt how to work the camera properley, e.g. working the zoom, working the Tripod, and using the camera in such a way that i create a spectacular image. Throughout the hole term of filming though i have found that keeping a straight face on camera is really hard and there have been times where i just couldnt help myself and would just break out laughing but i have learnt to control that.
Overall i have really enjoyed the experience.
