chloeAstleyASMedia: Filming

Completed by: Myself

Thursday 24th November was our first day of filming. We filmed in the afternoon in the lane behind our school. We filmed for two hours to ensure we had enough scenes to edit and so that the scenes wouldnt have to be refilmed.

Scenes we shot

We filmed all of the outdoor scenes like the finding of the apples and her running away scared.

Film location

The film location was a wood lane behind our school. We had to change location because of transport issues and scheduling.

Roles and Responsibilities:

Annie did most of her own make up and Nicola put the fake blood on her
Ellie Weeks designed Snow Whites Hair.
We each set up the scenery and took turns in filming.
We all ensured health and safety was followed

Equipment used and who bought them:

Video camera - Tayla
Tri-pod - Tayla
Camera to take photos for evidence - Nicola
16 apples - Tayla and Nicola
hazard sign - Nicola
Refreshments - All of us
Emergency phone numbers - All of us

Fake blood - All of us
Costume - Tayla and Nicola

Changes made during production:During filming we changed several scenes from the storyboard and we didnt include the knife as a prop as the health and safety risks were too much.

Filming:
At lunch, we got Annie to put her costume on and then we helped with her make up and Ellie Weeks helped style her hair. We also did a check on our equipment to see if everything was working and that we had everything we needed.We thenwalked to the location which was the lane directly behind the school. We began filming at around 2pm.

When filming, we first began to get a LS/WS shot of Snow White running away from the camera, who kept looking behind in panic. This followed on from capturing a MS shot of Snow white running still looking behind, however, the camera was catching the side of her. Then, capturing a CU shot of Snow White's waist when running, followed by a 2 more ECU shots of her running, filming her feet and legs. This lead onto filming the 'hazard sign' shot which was HS and the shot where Snow White is laying on the floor. We decided to film these shots as soon as possible to maintain the same lighting. Although, we filmed various shots of Snow White running, so when it comes to the editing process, we had a more wide range of shots to choose from.

Conclusion:
I think that the first day of filming was an overall success. We definitely chose the right actress as she not only was a good actress she also shared her drama knowledge with us and really helped to enhance the scenes. Ellie Weeks was also helpful as she too had many good ideas that helped us while filming. The shots looked successful as we filmed them, the lighting was how we wanted it and we all really put in our best effort for filming. I think it was sucessful production day and I look forward to the next one.
