First day of filming our second film

Yesterday after school our group met up to start filming for our new two minute opening. As the lighting was not what we wanted for the part of the character waking up, we decided to film the shots that we wanted to put together for our flash backs. We wanted just short random shots to put together in a snappy way just to give a background of what the character was doing the day before to show the lead up of why they are waking up in a forest.
We were driving in a car and decided to film our journey around town and other roads through the front, side and back windows which we can speed up on imovie and hopefully create a good effect. Also, although this shot was in daylight we are going to do it again when its dark so we can play around with all the lights from shops and houses and put the two different clips together. As we stopped at traffic lights we also thought it would be a good shot if we filmed the traffic lights changing from red to green.
Whilst we were driving we passed a phonebox which we thought would look good for another one of our clips so we filmed Sarah running from behind the camera into the phonebox looking stressed and desperate and typing in a number.

We then did the same shot but from a different angle across the road so we can cut up the clip. We then moved the camera to inside the phonebox and filmed Sarah frantically dialling numbers from underneath and again from above.
As we were filming this we spotted that one of the street lights was flickering so thought that would be an interesting shot to fit into our flashbacks, unfortunatly just as we set the camera up the light stopped flickering but we still decided to film the light just incase it looked good when edited into the flashbacks.
We then went into Hillyfields to complete a few more shots. First we had Sarah running and holding the camera so it is a point of view of her running through a field and then we placed the camera on the ground at a slanted angle to give the effect that the camera had been dropped. I then ran over the camera and into the distance so you can only see my legs running away.

I really enojoyed filming these shots and hope that hope that they look good when we upload them onto the macs and start editing.
We're going to have another filming day tomorrow when we can film our character waking up in the forest and maybe some more of our flashbacks.
