In today's lesson we began to film for our 'Youthoria Project', our aim was to get as much filming as we could done so that next week we could focus on editing. But, things didn't go according to our 'Shooting Shedule Sheet' because we didn't realise how long it actually takes to film our public information films so we ended up not getting to film everything we planned to.
In resolution to this we decided to ask if we could take the camera outside of school to film.
While shooting I thought it was organised quite well because we each got to film, using different composition techniques.
But, a problem we came across was at the end of the day we saw that we had 16 minutes of footage and we were hoping for the final product to be around 3 minutes so editing for next week will be a difficult part of the process.
During the filming and planning process it forced me to 'think outside the box' because PIF's of this time are quite creative, for example one of the ad's I researched was shown as a phone call, between the victim and a person helping her.
When we got to the filming we saw that it's harder to get all of our creative thoughts onto film so we then had to quickly adapt our ideas - which ended up taking time.
The inital idea was that we would film our main character walking home from school but we didn't want to face the hassle of going into all the shops we would possibly film so we again had to adapt and take out that chunk of film. Also, we conisidered in to be quite uneccesary to show her walking home; so simply just cut it to her leaving school and then opening the door.
Next week, we aim to spend half the day finishing our filming and maybe even re-doing bits and then the other half editing and finding music to go with the mood of 'Running Away From Home'.
