On Saturday, myself and my group went to do some filming at one of our locations. This location was Cafe Rouge in Gerrard's Cross. This location was decided upon due to a rustic and authentic atmosphere. We felt as if this would fit in with our film and also wouldn't be being stereotypical. Furthermore this location was easy for the group to get to.We had our main male actor ( Daniel Pirie) there as well so that we could shoot the cafe scene.
When filming we came across a few issues that we have to adapt round. The first issue that as Cafe Rouge had previously mentioned to us that we could only film outside their cafe between the hours of 3pm and 4pm we weren't able to film earlier on in the day meaning that we were unable to break previous stereotypes. Other issue that we had to get around was that it was on a road, the interference of cars and the engines are in our shoots occasionally. This issue also came across when customers were coming in and out of the cafe. This meant that we had to re-shoot meant of our shoots when it was clear making sure that we had that no cars were driving past. When re-shooting we round that we had to hurry up as it was getting darker and we originally only had an hour to film in. Another issue that we had to overcome was that the pavement was on a small slope meaning that it become difficult to place the tripod in exactly the position that we were hoping for. However I do feel that we got all of the shots that we needed for this scene in our opening.
Overall I feel that we had a very successful day filming. We were able to get all of the shots that we needed. From this filming session, it has become recognisable to me how many time we needed to re-shoot one particular shot to get it right. This say has also helped me to realise how much more work we need to put into our filming when it comes to the rest of our opening. Now that we had got this footage we can now as a group progress and see what other footage we need before we start to edit our opening.
