Prelim Task 2: Filming

When it finally came to filming our new and improved version of 'The Meeting' we were met with unforseen problems which could potentially ruin the quality of filming for us. Our first problem was the weather which on the day was very bad, something we were not anticipating seeing as it was July. As well as this the place where we had originally planned to shoot was already occupied so we then had to quickly organize a new place to film a part of our scene. However due to the extreme detail put in our planning and some great on the spot thinking we were able to quickly address both problems, finding a new place to film that guarded us from the heavy rain.

 Although promised that we would be filming with a proper professional video camera (above right) again due to unforseen circumstances we had to resort to again using a flip cam. At first I was very sceptical about this as when previously using these flip cams we encountered problems with steadying the camera, however this time we were given tripods which helped massively in steadying the camera so our shots looked more professional and not amauterish. This time filming we also took much more time to actually film our different scenes even shooting bits over that we didn't like. This was something that we discussed in the planning process and helped massively in making our second shooting of 'The Meeting' much better.
