Day 3 Filming

We were due to begin filming our 3rd day of production on Sunday 3rd October at Laura's aunties barn house.

The aim of today's shoot was to get all the flashbacks of Emily and Joe done and also some more group and individual shots of me and the girls lip syncing to more of the song.

We arrived at the barn house at 11am with everyone ready to begin filming. As we began setting up we realised there was a problem with our camera. We still aren't sure what is actually wrong with the camera but whenever we put our tape in the camera rejected it. At first we thought there was something wrong with the tape. Joe told us that he had the same type of tape needed for the camera at his house. So Joe and Charlotte went to Joe's house to find another tape while me, Sophie and Laura stayed at the house and planned shots we would use and took pictures. Joe and Charlotte returned with the new tape so we put it in the camera to use but once again the tape was rejected. We then realised it was a fault of the camera which ultimately meant we couldn't film that day as it was a Sunday and there was no way of getting another camera from Chauncy. This was a real disappointment as everyone was ready to film and mean that we had to reschedule which was a real problem as everyone is so busy.

Despite the major problem of not being able to film, we decided to make the most of the wasted day and take pictures of the location and thoroughly plan what we were going to do:

  • We realised we were going to have the film the remaining shots on 2 separate days because this was the last weekend that we were all available to film.
  • We will film just the group shots on Wednesday 6th October from 9am til 11am as this is when our media lesson is. We would not have time to film the flashbacks as well as the group and individual shots in only 2 hours.
  • The flashbacks with Emily and Joe will have to be filmed sometime next week which will be the last shots we film.
Here are some examples of the pictures we took whilst we were there of locations and props that we could use:
