To record our production we used a portable digital camera and used a tripod to stand the camera on; we gathered our equipment at the time we had decided as a group was suitable for each individual based on when they were available.
The first time we decided to try and record our footage the weather was bad, this made us decide to change the time we captured the footage to another date when the weather was better.
On the second time of shooting the weather was perfect. We took out the script and storyboard to help our production run smoothly and to make sure we capture the footage needed, in order. Once in our location, I set up the equipment in the position we decided the footage would be shot from. We ran through the scenes of our production a couple of times before recording as we may have changed parts to suit the movement of the characters. If the footage had been taken each time we ran through drafting the production and was then used in our rough cut; the scenery or movement may have changed and there would be a break in continuity.
The position of the camera changed in most scenes so to make sure the characters movement was in the correct starting positions we referred back to our already taken footage to calculate the approxmate position they should start from in each scene.
We used the hadle on the tripod stand to hold onto during the fast pased walking scene. This made the camera more stable and helped keep the camera steady.
After looking through the footage taken, we realised we needed a few extra shots to make the final production look more professional. We captured these a couple of days later using the same technique.
