Day Two Filming (Overview)

Today the weather wasn't against us like it was in Day One filming where it was very windy & rainy. I don't think it will affect our filming to much as lighting is our main source where we need the location to be dark to set the spooky scene. As a group we decided on what shots we should use when the character (Rajwar) is walking through Riverside; we used high-angle shot, low angle shot, extreme long shot. This gave us a chance to have a varity of shots to play around with when it comes to editing but at the same time add suspence to the viewer of where he is going.

Overall, I think we are moving at a good pace & should carry on motivating each other. Few more shots left to do the next time we film and I think the whole thing will come together well.

Filming Day Two Overview

Yesterday, filming was not as good because of the timing which affected our lighting. Also the wether did not have as much as an impact as it did on Sunday although it was quite breezy. However, on the other hand because our setting was set in a public place we had quite a few people from the public walking around the set which made us lose valuable time. Another factor which contributed to our loss of time was the fact that the camcorders were playing up in which i mean when recording an image or a footage the camcorder use to go blurry and the battery life was very short so as a result we could not achieve the goal we wanted to. Nevertheless on the plus side we got brilliant camera shots and saw our ideas coming to life.

To conclude i will try to keep the blog updated as much as i can on our progress.

Pedistrian Tunnel

                      A pedistrian tunnel in Shadwell Park which was one of the ideas for our location.

                                This is the setting which we are using currently for our film opening.

Day One Filming (Overview)

Today we met up together and visited two brilliant locations, the first was in Shadwell Park and the second was in Riverside Wapping. After we visited the locations we had a little brainstorm and chose Riverside as our primary location where our film opening scene will begin. In Riverside we took various shots such as; whip pan, long shot, over the shoulder shot, low angle, medium shot and pans.

In my opinion our group is progressing very well, by strictly keeping to our time management and by making valuable contribution in our brain storm. Furthermore we aim to finish most of our filming by Thursday and start editing by Tuesday.

In conclusion i believe as a group we are on target and cannot afford to start slacking now.

Day One Filming (Keeping A Diary)

Here we are taking a 3 seconds shot of our location. Therefore this will be used to introduce the location at the beggining of the opening scene.

Here we can see Abu & Tanbir using the camera to take a high angel shot. Abu is holding the umbrella to protect the camera from getting damaged.

This is Tanbir (Camera Man) taking a low angel shot of the footpath. This is also a 3 seconds shot to introduce the location.

This shot shows that Abu, potrayed as the 'ghost' wearing his black costume and sitting on the bench. You can not see it clearly as the camera quality was not great, however, during filming it worked out really well as the lighting of the scene came into great effect
