Filming timess

Tuesday 10th of February


Today we went location scouting, for places that would fit in to our film. We decided that we want it to look modern for our interior shots, and a kind of generic road for our walking to school scene. We decided to use the corridor on the upstairs part of sixth form, as it fit the look of a school, because it was, and it would also have students walking around to give it a spark of authenticity. For the outside scene,we decided to use the road/drive leading up to sixth form. Tomorrow, we're going to film the part where Fredreco walks up the drive and is hit with a football




Wednesday 11th of February.

Due to the excess amount of snow,we decided to change from getting hit with a football, to getting hit with a snowball. We also decided what my character Fredreco should where. We decided he should be the stereotypical school reject, goth like. And so we decided that Fredriko should wear a black T-shirt with Green Day's American Idiot logo on it, black jeans, and a studded belt, not forgetting red shoes. Also we decided he should wear a long black wig. Anyway, back to filming. We set the camera up at the top of the sixth form drive, and Me, Sarah and Laura (Sam was away on this day) ran to the bottom, making it look like he was walking to school, with people shouting names at him. Then, Laura and Sarah's characters run off screen, and throw a snowball at my character . For this, we filmed them from the top of the drive until I was off screen, and then paused it. Moved the camera for a close up on my face, and then off screen Laura through a snowball, the first one missed my face, and so was not very comedic. However, the second one, thrown by Sarah hit me square in the face, and I mock fell over, which added comedic value.




Thursday 13th February

Today we took a break from filming, and decided to edit what we filmed yesterday. Basically, we deleted a few takes, like the one of Laura's failed attempt at hitting me in the face, and a few takes of us walking up the drive, because you couldn't hear Sarah and Laura's taunts. But in the end, we found a take we were happy with and used it. Next week is half term, so we will return to filming once we get back
