Second filming session

I had my second and final filming session for my teaser trailer "Home" on Friday 8th October 2010. Again, I was very pleased with it. It went really well and I managed to get all the shots plus extras that I needed. The only thing that we found tough was getting in to character for filming. It took one of my actresses a while to stop laughing! But then after a few shots she got in to character and played it very well. In this filming session I filmed shot 1, 3, 6, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 16, 17 and 18. It was a very long filming session! I also got quite a few extra shots that are not on my storyboard. I did this because after watching a few examples of different trailers; I found that a lot of them have 1-2 second shots of random objects in the scene/setting. So whilst filming I spontaneously did a few of these shots. I did one of the young girls teddy bear, one of lit candle and one of some colourful flowers. I also did this so whilst editing I had a variety of shots to chose from and see whether they fit in with my trailer or not, hopefully some of them will be successful. I also found my storyboard very useful in this filming session, again it helped me plan and schedule what shots I needed and how long it would take.
