Filming

We have started to film our production work, we decided that we should film all of the chorus segments together, as they would be the easier shots, however they may take up more time as we have to prepare them aswell. We believe the filming has gone extremely well so far, especially as we have almost finished filming the chorus segments, there are one or two more shots in which we need to do this. However, we decided that when filming the stop-frame-animation shots we should film them with the writing already written for example with objects, and gradually take an object away and during editing we should reverse the shot so that we knew it would end up looking like the words "Oh Me, Oh My" rather than us having to change some letters/adjustments slightly because for example the O doesn't look as round as it should have. Therefore we hope that this will work more efficiently when editing and for the final production.

We have also started to film the green screen shots, as these shots can easily be done in a double lesson in our classroom. We decided to do these shots first as they are the ones that take longest as they need the most preparation as we have to set up the actual green screen. We had many difficulties such as trying to avoid shadows, and trying to prevent light hitting the screen. Although we found this very difficult, we believe we managed to achieve this and avoid having shadows on the screen. When filming the shot in which the male walks off of the screen, it was extremely difficult as the lights that were shining on him created a shadow as he walked off, therefore we had to try and adjust the lights so that the male could walk off of the other side of the green screen in which there would not be any shadows. We found this extremely difficult but we hope that we managed to avoid this error.
