Location shoot at Hayling Island

On Friday the 23rd we went down to Hayling Island in Pourtsmouth to start filming. We Went out at 11:30 on the beach to start filming the scenes that we had planned from our story board.  We started by looking though our story board  to see which shot we should start on and how we should go along doing so.  

This is the beach in Hayling Island that we shooting our first scene in. We then started filming the first parts of  film following our storyboard. 

We ended up doing one of the shots of our actor walking down the beach at least 10 times because we wanted to make sure that we could get it right.

This is a behind the scenes photo of us filming the close ups that we need to make the audience feel awkward because of all the close ups of our actors face, eye and wind blowing in the wind. We used a tripod to get these closeup shots because we wanted a still and steady shot.

We would always watch the clips back on the L.E.D screen on the camera being able to see if the actor is too far away or close and to see if things are in or out of focus.

Then when we were done filming all the clips at the beach we went back to the grandparents house and starting to film the sections in where Chester moves to his Grandparents because his parents have just passed away.  We tried out different shot types like one were i was sitting in the car and I filmed looking through but It was hard because there was a bar in the way which the camera kept wanting to focus on. So I decided to go inside the car boot itself so I can get the actor opening the boot and taking out his belongings. 

We then started to film shots with the grandpa and him coming out of the car and then going into the  house.  We needed to do this shot a few times because most of the shots were out of focus or we would miss something that we didn't do in the clip before.  Then we entered the house with the grandpa saying 'Your room is upstairs on the left' which is our first sot
