Before the Christmas break, we filmed the first scene of our opening sequence. Unfortunately, we didn't have the time or equipment to film the second scene but most of it went smoothly except we had some audio difficulty and some lighting issues. The scene where David (the main character) and the man are having a conversation was disastrous because you couldn't hear them at all due to the costumers chatting in the background. The lighting in the cafe made people look like silhouettes which worked in some shots but didn't in other shots. I also wish I had used better shots and angles.
We are now planning on finishing filming and editing our opening sequence next week. Our first attempt on filming wasn't as successful as we hoped it would be, but we learned a lot from it. I'm now going to keep in mind all the different shot types and angles I could use. I'm also going to be aware of how good the lighting is in a particular shot before we start filming. I'm also going to use the mic closer to their face so that the audio can pick up the sound well and we can hear the conversation clearly. We're also going to be more organised and ask the owner of the cafe if she can close it for a few hours so that we can finish filming without any interruptions.
