Equipment

We have gone three times for filming so far, and plan to go once more. The first time we went filming was in Matt's house were we filmed the very first scene's. With the new equipment and trying to work around our idea's in his house seemed to be a bit of a challenge at first but we overcame this. We also made a lot of mistakes which we learnt from, including not using a tripod for close shots in which we needed it for and continuity problems. We then went for a second time a week later. We re-shooted scenes such as the waking up part and added a few new shots which we thought would improve the whole of the movie intro. After doing a rough edit of all of them together including the shoots we did at Salford for the deserted city look we have decided a lot of the start needs improving and more of a clue of a zombie apocalypse happening. When filming at Salford, it proved hard to try and film shots without other people in it. We did the same scenes but in all different angles, some close up and long shots. We got kicked off the MediaCity area of Salford were we were filming because it was private property. This through us off our timetable so we had to make do with what we already had. This mistake can be improved next time by asking for permission and getting in contact them, instead of assuming it was okay to film.We plan to go next week back to Matt's house to make sure we have everything we need, and then we can proceed to edit our final intro.
