Day Two Filming


On our second day of filming we moved location from Grace's house to a meeting room in school. We decided on this location as it had white walls and bright lighting which was perfect to fit with the clinical effect that we are aiming to achieve. These shots are of a horizontal track of polaroid pictures, one device we have used to introduce the characters. We used a track to enable a steady camera movement rather than a hand held camera which was likely to look shakey. We first tried to use to mini tracks, this is like a tripod on wheels. This wasn't successful because of the bumps in the carpet on the floor that we were filming on and because the wheels were going in different directions. Using the mini tracks also made the shots wonky because the camera wasn't balanced, we had to find a different way of filming this shot. We later tried two pole tracks on a smoother floor (in the corridoor of school) which was much smoother and steady. After a succesful track shot we took the footage from the camera and on to a laptop to edit it.
