Filming Our Project: Filming attempt one

For our first filming attempt we went to Gerrards Cross high Street (on the16th january 2010 with all the group). We were filming the very beginning to our thriller film which consisted of a constant tracking of a pair of legs throughout the high street. We decided to film in Gerrards Cross and do the oppening scene first because Gerrards Cross was a very useful setting and was easily accessible to us, we decided on filming the very start of the film because it was an easy shot to do and we had a great setting to do it in, exactly as we had pictured it.

What Went Well:What did go well was the fact that we managed to get a lot of different shots/ attempts of filming in different angles, we managed to find a quiet street with not too many interuptions and we didn't have anyone asking us to move or not to film them. These made our trip a lot easier.

What Didn't Go Well: We attempted to do a tracking shot on a skateboard however the ground was too rough so the camera was very shaky.

What Problems And How Did We Overcome Them: We were always going to have interuptions especially cars because we were on the high street and we wanted to film going across a road. However we decided to film early in the morning and on a quiet road for some shots to get rid of these interuptions. The only other problem was trying not to get too many other people in shot however because we were only doing tracking of a pair of feet this didn't really affect us that much.
