Filming - Part 2

The second part of filming went quite smoothly even though we did have to make previous changes to the idea to suit factors that we couldn't control (the weather being too good - is there such a thing????!!!)

Unfortunately for this filming day, we didn't get the tripod we had booked so we had to use our shoulders to keep the camera steady. This is an advantage that we had found whilst filming - there was three of us so it worked well :)

We began filming from where we left off after the gig and the telford scenes and begun in shifnal. At the start of this filming, I was the one picking the locations for the event and we ended up shooting in the outskirts of shifnal for an erie feel.


The map above shows where we filmed in shifnal.

The weather at this point was quite mild and there was a little fog. On the screen this looked great but it was a shame that we didnt have any rain like we had hoped. At this location, we used a long shot with Ed walking towards the camera and walk past eventually. We did this a couple of time to make sure that his foot timing was correct and also to make sure there wasn't any camera glitches.

In the town, we filmed down a little alleyway which showed a traditional town. This gave the transition from busy to deserted that we wanted - even though there wasn't the whole rain appeal that we had hoped for. Unfortunately, we had to do quite a few shoots of this clip because people kept walking into the clip and kept being disrupted but we managed to go with a clip with just talking in it which we could take out of the final clip (as we weren't going to use the sound in the clips anyway).

Overall, it was a good day filming and we managed to make the most of the equipment we had (camera and a shoulder) and also the weather also helped us to produce a erie effect instead of the whole sunny day we thought we might have got.
