Filming update Three


 On the final day of filming we managed to get the rest of the footage that we needed. This included filming the 'Grease', 'Alice in Wonderland' 'Emo' and also the 'Charlie and the Chocolate factory' scene. They are appeared to have there own Pros and Cons.
The Alice scene-
Pros
-There was a lot of pros when filming this such as with it being filmed outside the lighting seemed to sort it self out and we didn't have to worry about the angle as it was a nice sun lit day and that was the type of lighting that was needed to set the mood and the atmosphere.
Cons
It was very windy which can not be control as it is a natural occurrence, but with the wind being rather strong it seemed to get in the way as the females hair would go every where and it needed to be down and can become rather distracting also with the ribbon in the background was blowing every where which did fit the setting but also became rather distracting.
The Grease Scene-
Pros
The pros about this scene where that the scene is filmed in a small area which means every thing has to be squeezed in which helped show a lot of detail and also helped set the scene as your not able to see the surrounding area to make you think otherwise that it is not a Diner. The use of the checked curtains also helped as well as you see them being used a lot in films like this.
Cons
The cons of having filmed it around such a small table and being confined with space means that it seemed to be a struggle using two cameras at once with out getting the other one in so we had to be very careful on what shots and angles that we used. Also we found it a little bit of a challenge to fit the tripod around the table.
The Emo Scene-
Pros
With using a dark room it helped us match the stereotype of and 'Emo'. This is dark and dull. with the room being blacked out it helped create a creepy and dark atmosphere which should show the fear from the artist as he enters this room.
Cons
The biggest con with working in such a dark room was actually being able to film to footage with out it being too dark so we try to cancel this con out by using candles around the room as this gives the room a feeling of mystery.
The C.A.T.C.F. Scene-
Pros
With the using all the streamers and tinsel in the room for this scene helped create a magical theme and with using the cameras we were able to pick up great angles to help produce this theme.
Cons
The biggest trouble that we found in this scene was using the smoke machine we found that it made a great affect with the filming and to the footage but as time progressed the room started to fill and fill and for some reason the smoke machine would not stop producing it after we had stop holding the button so then it became a great challenge to actually capture the footage as it appeared to be too Smokey in the room.
The Arab Scene-
There isn't much to say about this scene as it was so quick and there wasn't much to it the only con I can pick out is that the artist was still wearing the willy wonka hat when he walked into the room which shows a continuity error but that is all.
