Filming.

Our filming didn't require many props and it was done on college grounds. We tried to use a range of shots and angles including:

Close ups;
Shot reverse shots;
Long shots;
Match on action;
Following 180 degree rule;
Mid shots;
High angle and low angle shots.

Props
Various books;
Bags;
Two mobile phones;
And a boy's hoodie


One of the issues we had post filming was jump cuts. This was because we hadn't moved the camera more than 30 degrees whilst changing shots.

Fortunately we didn't need to re-shoot and we were able to get rid of the jump cuts in the editing stage.

Another problem we had was changing weather on the different days we were filming. Most of it was filmed on an overcast day but when we needed to re-shoot a small part it was very sunny out on the grounds. We decided to film under a tree which gave us enough shade to keep the continuity of our film.

Overall our filming took about 2 days (mostly done within lesson time) to do using an extra lesson to do minor re-shoots.
