Recreation of an Existing Short Film : Time to Get Filming...

So a little later then we had originally planned, we have finally completed our filming! So the first obstacle for me and Nicole at least to overcome was getting on the bus to jakes to even start, however eventually we all (well minus caitlin who was coming at 4 after her lesson). We decided that we would wait for Caitlin before we started to film, so everyone could have an equal input into it therefore we had half an hour to get costumes ready, hunt around for props (there is never a cardboard box around when you need one) and off course bring out the eyeliner for Nicole to become make-up artists and draw the cat whiskers on, we also were able to try and persuade Errol the cat that the cardboard box was a great place to sit in (he didn't seem to convinced though). Once Caitlin had arrived it was time to actually do a bit of media, and get the camera rolling so to speak. As Jake and Nicole were both starring roles within the recreation, me and Caitlin both took on more of a director role, this included rushing back to the laptop to check we had the right angle, reading out the script if lines were forgotten and what felt like holding up the camera (which actually is quite heavy) for ages at a weird angle - oh what we all do for media! This time unlike the first filming at the gateway, which had a lot of challenges to over come went a lot more smoothly and although we had to adapt some of the shots I feel we are able to create as close a recreation as possible. Jake has said that he will do the editing for us, as he has the technology to do it at home
