The Meeting 2: Shooting

When it finally came to shooting our new 'meeting' film, we were faced with the issue of one of the group members not being at school so the camera person also had to direct the actors. Another issue occurred that we were prepared for which was bad weather. However thanks to our planning we were able to shoot an alternative opening shot in the corridor outside the classroom we were filming in.

We filmed again with the flip cameras although this time we were given tripods which was a very helpful addition.  I think we could have improved our filming session by rehearsing the acting as well as just organising the location and deciding on the camera movements. We didn't have a long time to film so it would have been ideal if we had practised and set up the props before we started shooting. All in all, I think that despite the problems we faced the group was much better organised and the improvement should be reflected in the final cut of the second meeting film.
