Preparation for filming

Preparation!


Last Monday, Hannah and I purchased a few props from online, that were required for the day of filming. This included; two bandana's (red&black) and two balaklava's (black), which were to be worn by the female actors throughout the extract. We also bought a packet of bubble gum from our local shop and took some practise shots to check whether we could create the effect which was desired. We also did the same with the shisha smoke, again to ensure that this looked approraite on the camera. 

On Tuesday, we collected the equipment, which included; the camera, case/charger, SD card and the tripod. Even though we already had an understanding about how to use the equipment appropriately and safely, Hannah took home the items home and decided to just  double check that everything worked and reminded herself how to adjust the tripod's height and the camera's settings. This therefore ensured that we were organised and prepared for the next day (filming).  

In addition we also decided to film our footage at 12pm instead of 2:15pm. The reason for this was due to Hannah and myself, as well as the other actors, having a day off school and therefore felt that starting at an earlier time meant that we could film more footage and ensure that what we had captured was acceptable to use within the extract.
