Filming success!

Today we spent around 3 hours filming our short film and it was brilliant. We had 5 copies of the script so the cast and crew had a script to look at. We filmed each clip two times or more, because we needed to have a few to select from in case there were any mistakes or the lighting and sound was wrong.

We had to make a few changes. We forgot to bring a polar bear plushie, but luckily a helping friend had a Hello Kitty on her, so we used that instead. We actually thought that this may be more humorous than using a polar bear, because Hello Kitty is more recognisable and it supposed to be a cute friendly kitten but in this we have turned her into a killer. We also ran out of time to film the 3 different endings, so we chose the one we liked the best, which was the second one, and filmed that.

I did most of the filming and I filmed every scene atleast twice for a more veriety when editing, also if there where any mistakes we had another clip for back up. When Kyle was on camera I directed him and tried to make him feel confident with his work. For each scene we had the actors, Darren, Tom and Jonny learning their lines before we recorded.

We made the final decision of names yesterday. We have named the advert flash back character Jack, after the main character in 'Lost'. The plushie talker was named Matt, after Matt Parkman from 'Hereos'. The magic 8 ball character John, is named after John Locke from 'Lost'.
