Reflection on the synoptic day

Today was extremely stressful for our group because we struggled to find a person to replace Amina as we found that it was to hard to film around her timetable and also because she was not present for us to continue filming her as the outgoing girl and to redo the shots that we filmed on Monday. So after a lot of thinking we decided to use Georgia which was a good idea as were looked at her timetable and figured out days in which we could film her and the guy together. During the first two periods we went through our storyboard and planned out clearly what would happen in shot so that no one was confused when it came to filming her. This was good because we all got a clear understanding of how we would actually film certain shots for example the angles we were going to use and also where we would place certain credits.
Furthermore after break we began filming in the library which turned out much better then Mondays filming because we knew how to position the shot and we also checked to see weather things were in focus as that was major issues on Monday.
After lunch we whent to Garrat Park and filmed the actual opening which showed Georgia as two diferent girls on two different sides of the camera we found this quite challenging even though Mr Meade did explain and demonstrate to us how to do it. We found it hard to be quick with the camera because the shot starts with the sky then goes down to the ordinary girl and the same things is repeated but it goes back down to Georgia as the outgoing girl. Also as the alter-ego she had to be able to smoke in to the camera so that it will go blurry and when its came to editing the title of the film will be placed after it. However it took at least three to four times for us to actually get it right making us a little frustrated but also making us see how much time it takes to actually get things right.
we managed to film four shots and upload them on to the Mac and try to edit it adding in effects like putting in to slow motion and changing the colour to black because we want to give off the idea of past and present. It came out alright although we still have a lot of editing to do within those shots and the other shots which we will film on Monday hopefully because its the time when everyone in our group and the actors are free. Although as a group we hope that on Friday we can finish off editing what we filmed today.
