We filmed on the 14th January 2016, at around 9:30am. Initially, I had to teach my mum how to use the camera, and the first few shots I had to set up the tripod and start recording before getting into position for the shot. After a while, my mum got used to using the camera and was able to film the shots for me - making the filming process more efficient.
Together, we were able to film large amounts of footage which could be used, and we also experimented with creative shots - such as the reflection in the puddle followed by the splash.
When I took the footage in to school to show my group, they were very happy with what I had and it fit in with our drafted opening sequence.
The only issue with my footage, is that on the first day of filming, I borrowed my sisters headphones, but when we filmed on the Thursday, she had taken them back to University, so I used Apple earphones instead. Personally, I prefer the Apple earphones to the headphones, but this means that some of our shots need to be re-filmed, as if we kept both sets of shots, there would be continuity errors with the change in headphones.
I am planning to re-film some of the shots containing the old headphones and replace them with the new earphones. This will be done on the weekend of the 23/24th January.
Overall, although the day I filmed the shots was very cold at only 2 degrees Celsius, we managed to continue filming from 9:30 till 11:30am outside where I was wearing a short sleeved t-shirt, so between shots I had my coat on with gloves and a hat. The shots my mum and I filmed were perfect for our narrative and we will be incorporating them into our final piece.
