I am pretty happy with how our movie is going, though I do have some concerns. We are definitely going to have to organise an after school filming session sometime next week or we are not going to get our film completed. We have done about half of the filming and the rest shouldn't take too long, though only class time won't be enough. I am also a bit concerned with how my group is working together. Two lessons ago, Maddie didn't show up once we began filming, though she was at school and in class. this did not help with our time management or filming at all. There was also a slight problem in that lesson with the focus of Millie. She wouldn't follow some directions but she has worked on that and is now co-operating very well with us. I also feel that Maddie has stepped up a bit since last lesson. Once we started shooting scenes that she was in, I think she felt more comfortable in what she was doing and she seemed a lot more focused.
I'm very happy with how Sasha and I are working together. We have a very similar thought process and she is also very organised which has helped our group a lot. Each lesson she comes prepared with everything and I'm extremely happy with how she's working with everyone. Hopefully we will get our filming completed at the start of next week so we can start editing so it is ready for Friday. The lighting is also a bit hard to get right but I think we're starting to get the hang of it.
The shot list is helping a lot. The template is very easy to follow and easy to fill in. We're using it a lot during the filming process and very rarely are straying from it too much. Now and again we add in a few extras shot when we see a good opportunity but otherwise, we are mostly following the shot list. The storyboards are also helping in getting points across but the shot list is much more effective in helping us film.
The process is getting more and more stressful as the due date gets closer, but hopefully everything will turn out well in the end.
