While filming our preliminary we encountered many problems in the hour we were giving with the camera. Some of these problems turned out in our final preliminary video. One of the main issues you can notice is the sudden change of classroom. This was because the free classroom we was going to use was suddenly used by another class half way through our filming. We managed to get over this problem though as up to this point we had only filmed up to the classroom door. We could then change class hopefully without the audience noticing. This is shown when the close up of the door doesn't have a name on it before Tom enters it but in the next scene in the it does.
Another problem was the battery life of the camera. As we had forgot to charge the camera up prior to filming it run out of battery near the end. Because of this we had to change camera by swapping the tape inside which took up valuable time we needed. This was one of the key year 13 notes we had forgot about but we will now certainly keep in mind for the future. One of the key shots we had filmed we actually decided to take out in the end. This was when Tom walked into the camera which would then suddenly cut behind him as he carried on walking in front of the camera. This was because it didn't come out as good we thought it would and we thought it could mislead the audience and could even confuse them. We didn't have enough time to correct this scene so decided to leave it as it was. This was a good decision in the end as the original cut was simple but worked just as well. This deleted scene is another camera shot we would consider to use in the future while filming our thriller.
We filmed plenty of footage, more than we actually needed. This was because when editing we could decide what footage works the best and what doesn't when its put together. This was another helpful year 13 tip. When filming our thriller we will try and acquire our own camera. This is so we can spend as much time as we need instead of having to borrow one as there is only a limited amount.
