filming 4

today we did our 1920's shoot which took us around an hour overall. we unfortunatley faced some difficulties beforehand whilst deciding and organising where to shoot as we had a couple of different houses we were able to shoot at but our timetables didn't fit in with when the owners were free for us to film. Eventually after a lot of organising and planning we were able to find a house nearby to our school in which we were able to film in. It was a 1920's style house with a very suitable deco for us to film. we took the filming equipment to the house and met our extras and all arrived together. we spent about 15 minutes setting up all of the equipment, moving things around in the room so there was nothing connoting modern day and getting changed and doing hair and makeup. Beforehand we also went to a nearby supermarket and chose a variety of cakes that we brought to have on the table as it was a 1920's petting party. we added up the amount and split it between the 4 of us so that it was fair and shows we all contributed. We cut up the cakes and placed them around the table on plates and we also had a 1920's silverware dining set that we used.

overall the shoot went really well and we made sure we got all of the shots that we needed. we filmed everyone sitting at the table talking and eating the cakes as well as people playing the piano and dancing. we filmed as quick as we could as we were using somebody elses house and they could only stay at home for an hour as they had to leave so we had to stick to a tight time schedule to enable us to get all the footage needed. everyone had fun whilst filming and it wasn't stressful as we planned and organised it very well beforehand.
