Filming- 23rd February 2012

In Thursday Lesson we continued to progress with our filming. The scene in which we were filming was our MI5 scene. We had previously already filmed this scene, however we needed to include a tracking shot which we weren't previously able to do because the right equipment was not available to use. This is what we had planned to do.
Although, Our female actor Chelsea Davison changed her hairstyle. This wasn't a massive difference but was enough to impact on our work. This meant that within this time we also had to re film these scenes which we had already got. One reason why we re-filmed was so that it is consistent all of the way throughout.
During this time we also had to make sure that we completed the tracking shots as well. As we hadn't done this before the cinematographer (Amy) had to make sure that we had enough time to get enough takes so that we had some footage that we could use. When looking back at the footage of the tracking shots they were very good considering that this was her first time of filming a tracking shot.
When filming this time we also made sure that we got some extras for our actor to talk to so it looks like she is in a meeting talking to people which made it seem more like a real life situation. This is different from our previous shots where we don't have anyone in the scene. The extras will also be shown throughout the tracking shot. From looking back at our first pieces of footage of this scene, I can say that our second shoot was much more successful.

When filming, it was a tight schedule however we were able to complete it. I feel that this filming session was extremely successful. However this did mean that in some of the shots we weren't as successful as others which might mean we will have to re-shoot later on in the process. Having said this we were able to get all of the shoots that we needed. Furthermore I feel as if we knew exactly what we needed to get as from our previous shot we were able to see what we could do again now that we had this opportunity. This allowed for us to improve our work as we had a second opportunity to shoot the scene.Overall I feel as if we had a successful filming session and that we are pleased with the shots we were able to achieve.

Below are a few of the shots that we were able to get on this day:
