T2 - Production

I started the make the advert by signing the equipment out from school, including camera, tripod and a microphone. Mr Johnson keeps very detailed records of who has what equipment, s it was important to get the details right. I almost made one mistake right at the start by almost forgetting that I needed a tape.
I had arranged to meet my cast members over the park and they were on time so we were able to start filming straight away. There were very few members of the public at the park at that time so we were not worried about being disturbed.
I set up the camera with little effort, getting the camera on the tripod, making it stable and tripping over the mic cable several times. Then I checked the framing of the shots I would need, making mental notes of where the camera would be looking and positioned with each shot.
I filmed each shot several times to get the best result and one thing I had to be careful of was it was quite windy causing the sound to be a series of white noises with a few sentences in between. I then went back to school to upload the footage.
