Use appropriate skills to demonstrate filming (Description and analysis of a days filming)

A days filming would very busy. We would arrive at Emily's house and go through our story board to see what we would be filming at the day, this was very useful as we could easily identify who would be doing what and what needed to be done. Having a plan made it easier and more efficient for us to work.

Once we had figured out what we were filming on the specific day we would get to work. Initially we would do a practise run without any cameras. This allowed all of us to make any last minute changes. We found that by doing this we could see what needed to be done to better it before we started filming. There were no dialogue in the scene therefore no characters had to practise lines. That time was spent making sure all props and background were set and Jordan our main character was sure on what he needed to do. We filmed him finding the book in the attic, a discussion before we started filming took place on whether to leave the lights on or off. We came to the decision that we would try filming with the lights on and the lights off and then make a group decision. After we had filmed a few times making sure we had got everything perfect we looked at both clips. This allowed us to analyse our work to see if anything needed to be changed for example camera positioning or character movement. The group discussion would influence us to make small changes to better our work. This was very useful as it allowed everyone to get involved and allowed us to recognise where we had gone wrong and make changes.

After we had done all that we would plan further on our next day of filming to improve our work and make the day flow efficiently by doing this allowed us to save time and concentrate more on editing and evaluating our piece to see of how we could further improve it.

Finally after we had finished we made our ways home and conducted even more research into conventions of crime thrillers. This was useful as it allowed us to emulate styles of crime thrillers. produce a product which was appropriate for our target audience use conventions of crime thrillers in our movie opening
