Pre-Production & Filming

Today Lewis asked if he could join my group so that he could help make the promo. Once that was settled we went over everything so that we know what we needed to do as soon as we got to my house. Because it had already started raining we decided that we would not go to the park.  We refined all our original ideas.

We had to fill out three risk assessment forms for our locations as there is going to be three; my house, the park and college. We also had to fill out a form for the equipment. 

We left college early so that we would be at my house when the children got home. I think that filming went pretty well as we got all the footage that we wanted except for the park because of the weather. I felt that me and Sammie did most of the filming as in the beginning we set the shots up and filmed half the footage , whilst the guys did the sound. Because of transport the two guys had to leave early before even half the footage was filmed this meant that I had to juggle being in the promo and also filming it. When I had to be in it Sammie did the filming, when I didn’t have to be in it I took over to give Sammie a rest. 

I really enjoyed getting back into media as up until this point this year i'd only been involved in the Dolphinholme filming.
