Filming

We started the process of filming our project on 18/2/16. It was on this day that we were able to fully experience the hardships that our project could face. In spite of problematic instances and situations, the excursion was a lot of fun and really helped to mould our working attitudes into a machine of potential and productivity. Our production relied on the use of props to some degree as we decided to employ a machete for the opening scene. The large blade obviously stood as a very threatening prop and so all scenes that said blade was involved in were scrupulously choreographed in order to make sure all of the actors involved remained safe during filming. The feature of different camera angles and shots also plays a significant role in the production as the many altering angles makes for a very dynamic and free-flowing portrayal of combat.

One problem that we were confronted by during the filming of our production was a difference in availability for each member of our group. Not only was this an annoyance in general, but it put a cap on the amount of time we had to make use of in terms of filming. Because of these differences, our group was forced to start filming later in the day, ruining some of the shots as it got darker outside. In order to combat this, we set aside a day to make sure each member of the group was free to film and restarted the whole shooting process. Once we had enough time, the filming went very well and we managed to wrap it all up in one day.
