One Shot - The Filming!

The filming didn’t go quite to plan. Originally, we aimed to film on Tuesday 9th November; however it was put of because of the wet weather. Having a dry path to chalk on was a necessity. Therefore we arranged to meet the following day. Luckily it was dry!

This was not the only problem encountered. Our original plan was to have a young girl sat as shown below:


The problem here was the body blocking the drawings and the shadows from the legs casting over the drawings. Therefore we decided to have her kneeling.


A further problem we encountered was that we originally planned to have various drawings in three sections (i.e. drawings representing happy, worried and sad times); however it took a fair amount of time to sketch these on the ground. We did not want the film to last so long that the audience lose interest. Therefore we limited the drawings to one per section.

Lesson learnt: Have a back-up location to film if plans don't run accordingly!Not really having an interest in film, I can positively say I have enjoyed filming with my group. The edited film will be uploaded shortly! In the mean time, here are the production photos...
