First filming session! 29th Sep

On Thursday after our media lesson in the morning we decided to start our filming. For quite a lot of our production we are using my sister as an actor in the background story, but we couldn't film any of her as it was during the day and she was at school. Instead we chose to do the shots where we planned to film lots of people walking and then speed it up when we edit it, to use for the line in the chorus, 'people are all the same'. We thought we should film in a place that would be busy so it gives the best effect, which is why we decided to film in Harlow, where lots of people go to shop.


This is a picture of our first filming location but we decided to not include any of the shops or advertisement, just the people, to keep it simple.

The things that were hardest in filming people was that it was hard to set up the camera in a place where it would not be in anyones way and to not offend people or make people feel uncomfortable by filming them so we tried to do it discreetly as possible. Another factor which was made it difficult was that sometimes it went quiet and there wasn't a lot of people so we had to film for quite a long time to make sure we got the right shots we were looking for.
