Production log 13 & 14

This week we had started filming and we had come across many key issues when we did film. One of the key issues was trying to replicate a scene at different angles. We had done this to be able to cut between dialogue but the issue caused was in one scene it would go fine but when we had to re-film the exact same scene, there were props in different places and the character's voice had been different so we knew that it would be difficult to edit. Due to this we had tried to re-film the scenes again but the lines had been forgotten as well as the mode of address making it a big issue in the filming.

Another issue was filming outside as one of our shots had consisted of a tracking shot of the protagonist running down the street. The issue with this was the fact that the cameraman had to run faster than the protagonist in the scene and capture his face as well as not shaking that much. This was difficult especially when we had attached the camera to a track. This made it more difficult because the pavement was uneven making the camera shake much more than it should. This made it very unclear to see what was happening in the scene and also due to the weather a lot of rain kept falling on the lens of the camera making it hard to see what we had tried to film.

We had also felt that it didn't flow as much when watching it back on the camera but this may be due to the fact that it hasn't been edited. We also had to keep our eye on the time because we had to stick to our schedule and the schedule had revolved around each actor so we had to be prompt with it. In the next week we had decided to film the last scene again. This was easy for us as it wasn't time consuming at all and it probably was the best scene shot in the whole production.

Our protagonist running whilst tracking him, had to re-film this multiple times
