Filming

We decided to film on 23/02/2011, we had also decided that we wanted to film the entire opening sequence in one evening, not to do it in sections as it would make it easier to edit the whole sequence together. We filmed where I live. It is a perfect location because I live right next door to a William Hill betting shop.. However, we wanted part of our film to be in a betting shop- William Hill, but due to us being under 18 we were not allowed to film on the premisses. However I was able to walk in and out of the betting shop so we filmed me walking in and out. We used a dissolve cut when editing to make it appear time had passed. Filming went relatively smoothly with no major incidents that prevented us from getting the footage that we wanted. There were a few issues when filming with mirrors in the room because the cameras reflection in the mirror was visible in some shots. We dealt with this by re filming a few scenes which was laborious after a while. The filming took longer than we had anticipated but by the end of it we all felt as if we had enough footage to be able to put together an opening sequence which reflected the hard work we put into planing and filming it.
