Pre Edit

After having shot the film i starting capturing the footage on to my computer and went over my footage and wrote down the time codes for the sections of the footage that i plan on using in my film. I am quite happy with the final outcome from the footage taken and the problems that i thought may come from light issues can probably be adjusted on Adobe's Affter Effects.

The main issues with the footage is that from shooting it all in two days due to having to pay travel expences and buy them food for lunch, I forgot to shoot a few small but quite key shots and but it shouldnt be a problem getting them back for a day to finish off all the little things.

Productions Stills

Here are a few of my Productions Stills:

Scene 8 : The boys House

Scene 7 : Boys Returning

Scene 4 : Street After Pickpocketing Mum

Scene 3 : Pickpocketing Mum

Quick shots : Practicing Pickpocketing

Scene 1 : The Mum's House

Shoot Day 2

The second day of shooting went much better and we managed to shoot 6 scenes today which was good, it was much more relaxed and the actors had started bringing themselves more into the characters.

We started today by shooting in the Shop. Which went well but it was slightly smaller and the camera was slightly larger than i calculated when finding the location, which meant there werent as many camera angles possible as i had planned for but we made some adjustments and it turned out well. The only other issue was when the shop keeper got a bit confused with the script but he did well!

We then moved up the road and filmed the pickpocket scene and the quick scenes, these took longer than i had planned yet again but went well. The largest problem was when filming the quick shots of the boys practicing to pickpocket, the sound from the traffic and the amount of cars going past, but i am planning to have music over most of this part so it should be fine!

We ended by filming the last few scenes where the boys come back home and see the mum and of the boys in their room after collecting the money. The only problem again was me thinking the room was larger and the camera more maneuverable.

Shoot Day 1

Before we had really even started the shoot a huge change occured to my film, which was as you need an address to claim from the lottery, that it may be an idea for the mum to play the dad, but obviously change it to a mum rather than a dad. We shot the first scene the way planned with out showing the dad at all first which didnt turn out very well as it almost made it look like it was a comedy, so we tried using the Val (the mum) and changing the script slightly. Val shoked the whole room as she screamed at her son and so i though it was better to use val as the mum and have the boys come back to the house at the end.

We only managed to shoot 2 scenes the first day which was a bit dissapointing as i was hoping to get about 5 scenes done the first day, and only planned a short space of time on the second day but luckily the actors had the whole day free so said they would come earlier than planned. The main reason for this i think was it was the first time i had managed to meet the actors and so everything was a bit tense. Also having to shoot a sort of fight scene was quite difficult to do as you wanted to get them falling in the wright places so that they could get up

and continue the scene as planned. Another issue was getting the continuity correct after things got nocked that were on the sofas e.t.c.

Another major problem i had was the second scene we shot in the graveyard for part of it my camera man has put the filter on and for part of it, it was off so there is a huge difference in the lighting. I am going to see if it is possible to fix it in Premier Pro but if not i shall have to re-shoot this scene.

Risk Assesment Forms

Here are the risk assesment forms i have carried out for the differnt locations that i am planing on filming at:

274 Alfreton Road - The Boys home's

Waverly Street - Graveyard

Nottingham Streets - pickpocket scene, playground/ street

Alfreton Road 317 - Shop

Actors sorted

I finally managed to sort out my actor issue by having the one remaining actors mom as the pickpocket victim and have one of the actors freinds as garry. so i organised two shoot days and booked out the equipment.
