Day 2 Filming

Day 2 of filming started badly, the camera we had chewed up our tape, luckily we were able to get another camera and we had a spare tape, this did mess things up a little though as it took up time, and consequently light. In this time we would have been able to shot a variety of scenes outside as the lighting was the best it could have been. However we did not let this effect our overall filming.

We came to my house today to shot most of the house and morning scenes, this will be placed at the beginning of the film as our running man is rushing to get ready. We also did some more running scenes, to enable us to have a variety of running scenes when it came to editing. We also thought it might look good to have our running man, running through a number of different terrains.

We still need to film:

• Getting on and off the bus
• More running scenes
• The 2nd man walking home

Rough Cut

Due to the Christmas holidays coming up, we need to be able to hand in a rough cut of the footage we have filmed so far. I found this useful as it showed us how to manage our time appropriately and see what our finished film will eventually look like. We discovered that the opening sequence needs to be sped up slightly as it doesn't look as urgent as it should. Overall, we feel as if we have kept up to date with our filming and on schedule to finish on time.

There are still some shots we need to complete:

• Running shots
• Ipod scene
• Getting on and off the bus
• Walking back to house
• Bus footage
• Morning/House sequence

Day 1 Filming

We started filming the running scenes for our short film today near and around our school in Kingswood. We used a variety of shot types, including low angles, mid shots and low angled shots. The footage we filmed seemed to be quite good, although we were concerned about the light, as it was misty and looked as if it would rain. Eventually, we had to go inside as it started to rain. The filming of 'The Running Man' is under way!!

Here are a few photos:

Shooting List

Before we start filming we came up with a shooting list so we knew what we were filming at each location to save time. The main locations in the film are a house, the streets, a park and a bus stop.
