Day 3

On Friday 23rd March we had to trek up to Victoria to film the last scene in our thriller opening we left school at 12:20 as we had no lessons and took a 217 all the way to turnpike lane, we had to wait a while for Michael who we met at the station once we got there we too the the Piccadilly line to Finsbury park and changed to the Victoria line  straight to the Victoria the journey took a while and we got lost on the way to Michael's friends house but once we got there everything was sorted however Michael had the forgotten the fake blood for the death scene this was at first annoying however when we actually got the location i saw it benefited us as the floor aaron would die on was carpet and fake blood would be really hard to get out without the help of vanish oxi action, so i guess every cloud has a silver lining. Michael's friends were very kind they offered us food and entertainment and tried to help with the video so it was all cool. the location wasn't exactly what i had in mind but it was not so far away that we couldn't work with it. we got to michael's friends house at around 2:30 but dint start filming till 4:00 as we were distracted with entertainment (fifa 12). when we did start there was mainly problems with lighting and being able to see the date and time upon the phone as this was a key asset we needed to add to our opening after we fixed the problem it was then down to my shabby camera skills but once i got the hang of it we were on our way the filming went up until the point in which the camera ran out of battery but thank God I was too lazy to give the charger back to Mrs tatham we charged the battery and got on our way again but we then met with a different problem as the memory card kept running out of space so we deleted unnecessary pictures and clips and continued, we then ran out of batteries again and had to charge it we finally had to hurry the last bit of filming as I had to go home and look after my little brother but in the end we got it done and were happy with what we got despite the troubles we had come up against while filming, we done what we'd came to do and headed home. it was not the best day of filming but taught a great listen which is PREPARATION IS KEY and don't fifa 12 while filming .
