Filming On Monday the 9th January - Chloe Lawler

On Monday the 9th of January, Run The Block Entertainment crew went to record the opening scene of our film. We gathered the equipment we needed, including two cameras, two tripods, a torchlight and our storyboard. We all went down to a backstreet behind St Pauls Secondary School, Shelmadine Close, to film the running scene. We chose this location due to the fact that the buildings around that area are old and the enclosed space allows the camera to capture the action with ease. We found that the camera could not zoom into the eye as fast as we would have liked it to, so we had to change the settings during the filming process. The camera angles were discussed also when we were talking about the shots in our storyboards.  We were then focused on filming the running scene in two sections where both cameras involved filming at the same time. It began to get late while filming, so the torchlight came in handy for planning backstage. During the filming we experienced some problems when choosing the location and the camera settings set us back in recording. However, we managed to overcome these difficulties without any issues. During our next filming sessions over the weekend, we will be filming more of the running scenes for the opening clips.
