The day of the shoot was February 5th 2009. we were given the day off from our other classes so we could focus on our projects. we meet in class then went to the lord nelson pub where we spent several hours. then we had use of my car and went to a quiet lane to get footage of characters in the car (not used in final cut though). then we moved to Alexandra park which is adjacent to college. then moved to street close by to film the corner street scenes.
things that went well.
1. most of the shots we did get, were of good quality.
2. costumes and make up were good i think this was helped by the fact i practiced doing the stage make up on myself.
3. all footage was taken in the 1 day. meaning we got a head start in the editing suite.
things that didn't turn out so well.
1. The noise in the cellar of the cooling unit. This is one problem with filming on location. when we reliased that dialogue couldn't be heard this is the point when we decided to change it to voice overs.
2. the cooling unit made the room cold, this meant we didn't want muhaimin sitting still for too long, meaning we probably didn't get as many shots as we wanted.
3. The location was smaller than what we thought from the pictures the art director showed us. this meant there was certain camera angles we couldn't achieve.
4. the weather although not much we could do about. same situtation as no 2 caused a lack of shots.
overall our shoot was a success because our final piece has turned out well.
