Filming- Sunday 21st March 2010

Last weekend we finished filming. We met at Linford Bottom at 10am to film the flashback scene first with David Torr (who is Matt Torr’s little brother) who plays the character David when he was a child. We also used Fran Scrivens (who is Jake’s little sister) who plays Amy when she was a child. Luckily the weather was nice and sunny which is obviously what we wanted as it’s about him moving away from this beautiful country life to a dull city one.

We did encounter quite a big problem though with the mic as even when the mic was far away from the camera it still came up with the horrible feedback noise which dominates the sound so we couldn’t use the mic. Which was unfortunate as the last scene which we filmed on the same day was the most scripted scene. We did try it with the mic for a few times but it just didn’t work out we had to use the in-camera mic from the camera.

Once we did the flashback scenes we took a few pictures of the flashback and one which could be used for a poster. Fran and David then left and we waited for Stevie to finish her work around lunch time so that we could film the last film. While we were waiting Matt Torr took his little brother back and Jake took his little sister back and then had lunch at his. Meanwhile, me and Tidby stayed on location with the media equipment. Then Matt Torr and Jake came back and we filmed interviews of us talking about the experience, problems, influences and how it’s all been.

Later,  Stevie came and we were ready to film the last scene. The filming did go well except from the mic which I have mentioned before. I feel the acting was very good we wanted it to be very emotional at the end and the actors made it very convincing. Matt Torr actually said while he was acting a tear went down along his face so I think they did a very good job for the last scene and was impressed. Overall, it’s good to know that we have finished our filming and I can’t wait to see what it looks like all put together.

After we finished we took a few more pictures  of the grown up David and Amy standing either side of the tree which we will use for the poster and a few other pictures of the location.
