2. Filming

 Present:
 Tia-Reisa Apaloo-Clarke
 Elisha Applebaum
 Dorcas Viela
 Jake Fava (Actor)
 Filming time : 12pm

3. Preparation for my role
 As the camera woman I had to do research on
different shots and angles to formularise myself
before I started filming. I also had to research on the
rules to filming, such as not breaking the 180-degree
rule.
 I chose to be the camerawoman as I wanted to try
something new. Also I knew editing would be more
of a struggle for me.

4. Problems occurred
 On the first day of filming. The director was
supposed to have charged the camera overnight, but
as she had forgotten we had to start an hour later.
Once charged the camera wouldn’t let us record as
something on the screen kept coming up.
 HOW THE PROBLEMS WERE RESOLVED:
While waiting for the camera to charge, we talked
about the shots and angles we would film. We also
emailed sir to ask for his help on why the camera
wouldn’t let us film.

5. Filming
 Filming Date 14/11/12
 Present:
 Tia-Reisa Apaloo-Clarke
 Elisha Applebaum
 Dorcas Viela
 Jake Fava (Actor)
 Filming time : 12pm

6. Problems Occurred
 Even though the location had been reserved, at times
we were unable to film due to unexpected problems.
Also team members were sometimes unreliable as at
the last minute they were unable to come to the
filming.
 HOW THE PROBLEMS WERE RESOLVED:
As we were unable to use the location at that certain
period of time, we made sure to film that certain scene
on a different day. As it was the editor who was unable
to make it we had to carry on without her due to the
short amount of time we had to film.

 Present:
 Tia-Reisa Apaloo-Clarke
 Elisha Applebaum
 Dorcas Viela
 Jake Fava (Actor)
 Filming time : 12pm

8. Problems occurred
 We only had a short period of time to film, as I had
to leave earlier due to other arrangements, because
of this filming was rushed and when we got back to
school we saw majority of the film was out of focus.
The director had told me she had already checked to
make sure it was in focus before filming but I should
have checked it again.
 HOW THE PROBLEMS WERE RESOLVED:
We arranged to re-film all of the out of focus scenes
when doing this I made sure to check the camera was
in focus.

9. What to do better next time
 Next time to ensure there isn't any problems, we as a
group to need to pick better times to film. Stating
clearly when were available and when we are not. We
also need to remember to bring a copy of the script to
every filming shoot as sometimes we had forgotten
the order of the film and what parts we needed to
film.
 When filming I also need to make sure the camera is
in focus, this we save us having to re film scenes.

10. How the team co-operated
 The team co-operated very well. As we all knew each
other before working together, we had no problems
being in each others company. Therefore it was easy
to communicate with each other and discuss what
needed to be done.
 While being the camera woman I tried my hardest to
produce, a good quality of filming and overall I think
that showed in our film.
