Radar Love: Planning and Filming

We have filmed our footage for our 30 second performance, yet ended up with minutes of film so that we can play around when it comes to editing and slot in other shots if we feel it needs it.

The main trouble we faced was finding a time when everyone was available. In total there was five of us (two of us filming, three actors) and so it took some time to work out when we were free. Originally, we were going to use someone else but he had multiple commitments and so couldn't make it. This has taught me to give the people I am using in my coursework plenty of notice so that they can keep the date free.

Another problem we faced was getting the playing of instruments to match the song, as neither of the girls were too familiar with them. This was not so much of a problem with the tambourine, but with the guitar, in particular with close ups of the fret, this is noticeable and so in editing we will need to find a way to conceal this - perhaps doing fast cuts in between the guitar fret and the tambourine.

Even so, it went smoothly and due to our storyboard we were able to complete filming quickly and efficiently. Now we will begin to work on our editing.
