I AM CINEMATOGRAPHER
During filming, it was my job to set up the camera for each individual shot and film the action that Lizzie directed.
Main problems included the creaky tripod and keeping the balance straight, but despite this it went well.
I filmed around 15 minutes of footage to be cut down to 5, including multiple shots of some scenes, so that the editor can use the best shot possible.
One of the best shots in my opinion was the one of Lizzie opening the bathroom door and turning the flickering light on. I managed to get it so that the camera wasn't visible through the mirrors but Lizzie's face could be seen, which I thought was good.
One of the problem shots was of Lizzie's POV following Keeley leaving the kitchen. I kept panning too fast or slow, so we either saw Keeley's arm closing the door or we just saw the door already closed. However, I overcame this and eventually filmed the perfect result.

11th feburary 2010
In this lesson the team focused on editing and as a result our film started to take a rough shape. We also finalized the clips and audio we were going to use in our film, so as to make Keeley's job a lot easier. Our film was in complete chronological disorder, as we had to consider the lighting and timing issues; which made the 'placing of footage in the correct order' a lot harder.

9th of feb 2010 .
In this session we uploaded our film. Keeley the editor got to work on separating the usable clips from unusable, to slot them into chronological order according to our story bored we sketched out earlier.
David borrowed the MP3 recorder and started to list the amount of sound effects he had to record in order to improve the audio quality of the film.
Lizzie on the other hand had her sheets at the ready with Sean to help keeley in knowing what order the shots were in.

About the filming!!
This was the Day that the group and I had allocated as an appropriate day to film our coursework. Like expressed before we had decided to film at Lizzie's house for it was an appropriate location for the setting and the background of the story. The equipment which we took with us was only a camera as Lizzie was supplying us with the tripod and both the storyboard and also the lines.
Sean had already prepared the order of shots for us to film, so when we got to the house we finalized what the order of shots, were and also which rooms we were filming in.
As Sound Director i also had to give my creative input into the process of choosing the various rooms we were going to film in. Also as Sound Director i had to ensure that the sound and voice were recorded properly and the quality was of good enough standard.

2nd february 2010 / 4th february 2010
2.02.2010:
in this lesson we started to storyboard our ideas . This gave us a fairly good idea of the shots we wanted to use and how we will go about obtaining them. Also in this lesson we decided on the location of the film and also the storyline.
We also have decided on the dates, times and location in which we are going to film our coursework:
Friday 5th feb - 4.00pm - 7.00 + - main filming
Mon 8th feb - 2.00pm - WHENEVER - back up filming
Location: Lizzie's house- Stow cum quy

4.02.2010:
Lizzie showed the first draft of the script, which helped Sean storyboard some of Keeley's ideas on camera shots and also camera angles. The script also gave us a rough idea on how smooth the dialogue and the filming would run. Through obtaining the Script and the completed storyboard we now have a rough idea how long it will take us to film and if we can fit all the filming in the allotted time provided to us through the Longroad Film studies department. Because, of the size of the script and the storyboard we believe that we will not have enough time with the school camera so Sean, Keeley and Lizzie have offered to use there camera's if we decide to take another day in filming our coursework.
