Filming sessions

We planned to go to my auntys house twice a week until all the filming was finished, these days were a wednesday and thursday afternoon when we had a double period of media which were 100 minutes long, this gave us plenty of time to get to the house and start filming the specific parts that we planned for each day. We were very successful in using our time wisely when we started filming although during the start of our filming we had many problems with the equiptment, we started off by filming a scene without a tripod which was unsuccessful and very shakey so we then had to rearrange a different time to film that section. We achieved alot in each of our sessions but we found it difficult to keep filming outside of school as we realised we didn't have enough time in these lessons to complete all of the filming so we started going afterschool to make sure it was finished in time. We have created mise-en-scene by making sure that Janet Blonds room is girly. We have used many film conventions in our film opening which are 180 degree rule, match on action, panning, close ups of each character in our film. We came across many problems with the storyboard and planning of our film as the location didn't fit with our plan of laser dancing so we had to re-arrange are film which took up one of our filming sessions.
