When filming we followed the shot list very carefully, we had to make sure that we achieved the desired effect. I feel the Mini DV player really helped at this point as Becky was able to view everything that was being filmed and if she felt the shot we were shooting didn't look right she would be able to stop and re-position the actors or myself and Matt. The young boy playing Sam i feel coped very well, children are notoriously hard to work with, however Thomas seemed to take direction really well and if he made mistakes, was quick to correct them. We filmed on a very cold and miserable day, and thus chose the use the 85 filter to brighten up the whole feel of the film, we learnt about the use of the 85 filter in a workshop run by miss ship, i go into further detail in Post 11. Filming went on from 10am to 4pm which wasn't very pleasant for the actors, particularly Jonathan as he was used for that whole time period. Towards the end of the day we ran into sound issues, the sound began to continuously cut out meaning we had to stop, replace the batteries in the microphone and try and find out what the issue was, we also had to re-film shots due to the sound cutting out. As well as this we were met with the challenge of traffic noise interfering with our filming, the traffic was very loud and over powering, meaning that the actors could not be heard and again having to re-film certain shots.

As well as this i wanted to make the different characters obvious, for example, the Art Student, she was wearing bright and bold colours to represent her warm, fun character. I feel Carol, the office workers costume was exactly as planned, she was dressed all in black and looked very smart, however wore red lipstick and high heels to add a sense of sex appeal to her character. Finally, the character of Jonathan was the vital part of the film, although not overly noticeable, his costume changes were the most important out of all the characters. In order to show the audience that his story unraveled over a period of time it had to become evident that he was not just sitting on the park bench at one particular time throughout the whole film. In order to show this to the audience i decided to put Jonathan in different coulerd scarfs to show the different days. Another way of representing what day or week it was, was by having Jonathan wear a scarf and coat at the beginning of the film and then towards the end just wearing a shirt and trousers to show the change in the seasons.

This video shows filming with and without the use of an 85 filter, we learnt about the use of a 85 filter at the beginning of our project and when filming we felt it was an essential piece of equipment to have.
