Filming day 2

On our second day of filming we filmed all the shots that included the family. These shots covered the scene where the family are sat at the table in a house and the shot of the children in the park. 

We started off by arranging a meeting point in the park to meet the family so we knew where they were going to be and didn't have to waste time trying to find each other. Once we had met the family we set up the camera by the slide that we had previously checked out and decided was suitable for our trailer. As it started raining on our filming day, which it wasn't supposed to, we had to try and get all the shots filmed as quickly as we could. The bonus was that it kept away others from visiting the park so we did not have to worry about strangers appearing accidentally in the scene. It also provided us with our desired lower lighting. Because on the day it was also colder than forecast we made sure that we kept our actors warm by buying them a coffee. I had the additional challenge of learning how to ride and handle a skateboard.

After finishing filming at the park we moved on to filming the house scene. We drove from the park to the house we were shooting at as it was only a 10 minute drive. Once we got to the house we went to the room where we already knew we were filming the shot, so we didn't waste any time. We made sure only the appropriate props were visible in the camera and there was no additional activity going on outside behind the actors. As we were in someone else's house we had to make sure that we were respectful and grateful that they were letting us use their house. Once we had filmed everything we needed to we made sure that we tidied everything away and left the house as it was when we arrived.
