Foundation Production: How the filming went

On Friday 4th March Jake and I re-filmed many of our previous shots that we had shot during the half term. We found that filming our shots a second time went much quicker as we knew where exactly we had to film and what sort of shots we would use. We also had to change our actor for the villain as the person we used last time wasn't able to run for the majority of the shots because of injury. Therefore we asked George Burtenshaw (a friend) to stand in. We managed to film the fight scene between Jake's character and George's character. I filmed the majority of the shots as Jake was acting. However, Jake filmed the shot looking at the sky. In the end we had to stop filming any additional shots because it got too dark to film clear shots.

Props Update

For the gig scene, Jack used:

• Westfield Les Paul
• Laney Amp With Head Cab
• Pearl Drum Kit
• Sabian Symbols for the drums

Foundation Production Filming

Re-filming
As we had problems when filming we have decided to re-film a slection of shots that were not good enough to use in our thriller, this means that Jake will have to meet up with Dom this weekend to film in the Ashdown Forest.

Filming
We haven't filmed the bar scene yet but we are planning to film it on Sunday 6th March in the evening, we have found a different location to film this shot. Dani has asked her friend if we can film in her house because she has a bar that would suit our scene well.

We are attempting to get all of our filming done this weekend so we can meet the deadline on Friday 11th March.

Sound

When recording the live gig at the Albemarle center, the sound quality was quite poor, so we decided to re-record the song the band(The Crows) played at the gig.
To re-record that, Jack, recorded the song "Set Your Head On Fire" , originally played by the band the black box revelation, on the recording software, logic pro. he played it as if it was live as well, so he only used one track to record both guitar and drums as it would be live, rather than the studio way of doing it and using multi tracks to put down all the different sounds needed to create a studio version to the song.
Also Jack added in a crowd effect to also make it seem like it was all done live.

Foundation Production: problems when filming

During filming we encountered a number of problems with set location, equipment and permisson to film.

Our first filming location was the Albemarle Centre, although we were able to film we had limited space at our disposal, equipment also presented issues by lack of equipment by having only one tape for two cameras.

Another issue we had was permison to film with our intended props at Ashdown forest, we called the police non-emergency contact line and made them aware that we were filming with props that the general public may have thought could be dangerous, we then received a call from the police asking us to not film the sequence, we could do the chase but only without the fake gun.

We have been set back a few times due to little things when filming, so far the things we need to do to finish our production are:

• Foley artist both jacks band and the audience.
• Finish the chase scene in the woods with the dialogue.
• Do the bar scene with Jake and Dani.
• Get a few shots of an audience.
