We started filming on 27th January 2012 at the Northwood site of our school. The first day of filming consisted of trying out different shots and trying to see what works best with the opening shot of our documentary, we had a rough idea as i had previously drawn out a potential storyboard for the opening.
The problems we have come across so far are due to the location of filming. Seeing that we are filming on location at school, there are certain obstacles such as noisy children walking late to lessons and trying to get on camera, school bells, noise of the refrigeration units near the drama room and unexpected outside noises etc. All these obstacles with our limited access to media hardware (especially for sound capture) makes it even harder for us to create this documentary quickly and effectively.
It was also hard for me to think of what to say, as I was not given a written script so I had to improvise what I was going to say and how I was going to say it. This, and the rest of the team working out different camera angles and working on the aperture, prolonged the shooting time of the opening scene.
Where are your storyboards and shooting scripts?
