Filming -Session 1

I think that filming today went pretty well. Today I was only filming harry who is ‘Reuben’ My main character, I think I did a good job of casting and I think that he fits the role quite well. The locations all seemed to work well and just looking through the film I think that is looks quite natural and flows quite well. Unfortunately the weather took a turn for the worse and it started raining so I didn’t manage to get all of the shots that I wanted to in the day so I am planning to get all of harry filmed and by Thursday 5^th of January but there is still a bit more filming to do as some of my actors have been unreliable turning up to filming so I have had some problems with that. The footage that I have at the moment I am very pleased with but I still have half the film left to record. Hopefully the remaining footage will be done on Friday the 6^th of January when I have made sure all of my cast are free to film. Here are some shots that I thought worked quite well.

Production Cards- Rock the Boat

Over the past few days I have been trying to find suitable boats for my production card ‘A rock the Boat film’ I looked in every toy shop in town and couldn’t find any boats what so ever so I’ve decided to make my boat out of origami. But being made of paper there is one problem, When paper gets wet it melts and falls apart so I have found a good shell for a boat made out of paper and created it out of paper and attached a barbeque skewer on top and attached some tissue to it to create a mast.

Here is some footage that I filmed showing some trial runs of the boat.

The boat seems quite unstable and tilts to one side and after one take then it is totally wet and the bottom of the boat rips

Animatic

Here is my finished animatic.

Production card

I've done some word on my production cards. Here is my main one

It is not yet 100% finished since i am yet to write and add the music, i am currently thinking what type of music would suit it and i am thinking some simple piano music. i have also done some work on my second production card 'A Rock the Boat film' in which i'l have a small boat going across a river then pan up to show the 1st shot

i've looked in lots of different shops and i can't seem to find any boats that would look good in the film, so i was thinking about doing an origami boat but its just a question of whether it floats or sinks or stays upright. Im going to test some different ways of making boats and seeing how they do.
