Progress...

In the past few weeks we have been doing a lot of filming! As our film is very concept based, we could only plan so much of it, which we have used in the beginning of our film. We wanted to maximise our ability to get lots of different people, so we had to go out and film in different locations.

In the christmas holidays me and holly went to Walsham because it has lots of different little businesses which we thought may be useful in getting different faces and different situations. We aimed to film at the hairdressers, the butchers, the building site and catch any other people we thought could be of any use to us. Unfortunately, we were pretty unsuccessful because it was a cold day before christmas and everyone was inside so we couldn't find many people at all, let alone those we wanted. In the end we asked a postman, but he was too busy posting christmas cards, but then we managed to get a shot of a builder shaking his bum. Also, we tried to get a builder dancing whilst driving his dumper truck but holly pressed record and I hadn't realised and overwrote it by accident. That was all we got that day, which was dissappointing for us but atleast we got something!

Most recently, we planned a trip to Norwich because we knew there would be loads of people around that we could ask to dance for us. I think we were a bit ambitious with this, as we assumed a lot more people would be up for it than there actually were. We aimed for about 60 faces and ended up with less than 20. However, the shots we have got are of good quality. Throughout the day we had to keep changing our tactic because we realised that passers by were less likely to let us film them than people who were working, as they couldn't escape us! A lot of our filming from Norwich was spontaneous, which is good because we worked with what we had got rather than going with a set plan which might of restricted us. This was proven when we tried to film a group of boys dancing in the glass lift and they went in the wrong one, so we didn't get the shot we wanted and then were asked to leave the mall by the boss person because it was against the rules. Overall though, this was a very productive day and we are pleased with our shots.

Aside from these, we have also filmed a friend dancing in the shower, something that took a long time to film but we have only used 5 seconds of it, and various other odd bits of filming.

We are currently in the editing process, working towards the deadline, and will film any pick-up shots if need be.
