Filming

We have finished all our filming for our trailer now. The filming for our trailer was important as we had to make sure we filmed everything before we could start editing it. Once we had finished filming everything we uploaded it onto the iMacs. When we were playing it on the iMacs we realised that there were a few problems, these were the background noise because of the weather. We filmed a few of our clips outside but because there was no dialogue in the clips we were able to overcome this problem. This is because where we filmed outside you could hear the wind in the background, luckily the clip had no speech which meant that when we were editing we were able to edit the clip and mute the sound so it was silent as we would be adding music at the end anyway. Most of the filming was all ok although there were a few things we had to re film because of problems such as camera angles. We made sure in our filming we added different camera angles such as close ups, mid shots, long shots, birds eye view etc.
We also had to make sure in our filming that we stuck to the same conventions as a real thriller/horror trailer, these would be things such as the setting. As trailers are about 2 minutes long we had to make sure that we filmed enough, this was because even if it looked like we had done a lot of filming, once we had edited it all it would look like we had done hardly any filming because the clips would be cut really short as trailers have really quick cuts. When we edited it all together we realised we had done enough filming because we had to add in time to be able to add in titles and institutions.
Over all I think we managed to film everything ok and had it all done in time to be able to start editing. If we were able to do this again I think we should of started filming earlier and filmed some of it in a darker setting so later at night when it started getting darker. However I think the filming we did was good and still worked well once editing.
