Filming Finished

I finally finished all the filming these weekend, however it was not without its fair share of setbacks. I planned to film the rest of the footage on saturday morning, outside with dad and a couple who had agreed to help out. Saturday morning it was pouring so i couldn't film, and as i had all the inside footage filmed, i had nothing else to do. So i couldn't film saturday morning, and dad was working in the afternoon. Sticking with my luck, the couple who were helping out were heading away for two weeks the following day, therefor mucking up all the filming. As a result, i have had to change the storyline, incorporating the existing footage I had. The film now contrasts depression within children, teenagers and adults. The existing footage shows causes and consequences of depression on adults, and I filmed with my little brother and a bit with myself to show this in the varying age groups. For each the catalyst is different, with the child dealing with a parental divorce, and teenager with cyber bullying. Ironically, i feel that this new structure has more potential than the previous, and if edited correctly, could be very powerful. Regardless of this however, i have finished filming and can finally start editing. I still need to record some voice over, which i will do with my little brother when i can decide on what will be most effective.

Filming Underway!

After a barrage of numerous obstacles, i have finally started filming Depreciate. Tonight i filmed all the inside scenes, roughly 2/3 of the film. I had planned to film last night, but in conjunction with my luck, some family friends turned up unexpectedly and ending up staying the night, meaning i couldn't film. Fast forward 24 hours and finally i have able to get the camera out. The rest of the film i plan to shoot next weekend, most likely sunday afternoon. This will give me the final week of term and the holidays to edit. I filmed to my updated script, which has been even further refined following the original submission. Obviously a lot has not gone to plan, however hopefully it all begins to fit into place and i can polish off this filming and get on the home straight of the film with the editing. Fingers crossed.

Filming Delay

Just when i thought everything was sorted, turns out theres another speed bump on the journey. I was unable to get a camera for the weekend due to none being available, even though i booked. Therefor i will have to wait and won't be able to get one to at least monday. The new plan is to get the camera before school exams and have finished filming but the end of exams, end of term at the absolute latest. This will allow me to spend the holidays editing and to have that finished by the start of term 4. Obviously a lot has not gone to plan, but i'll need to continue to adapt to whatever issue's are thrown my way. Hopefully this time everything aligns and i am able to get this bloody filming done!!
