Filming the car scene

Today we were able to film the car scene, unfortunately after searching shops and online we were unable to get the car colours we desired, however we used mini coopers which had the Union Flag on the roof which is a good representation of our band being very British. This shoot consisted of the most problems because the plasticine we have used has started becoming very unstable which resulted in one of the models completely breaking in half. To improve this we tried adding more material onto the models and used more cocktail sticks within the legs, even though  this worked today I don't feel the models will be in a usable state much longer. Therefore we will need to concentrate on getting all the filming done as soon as possible to ensure the models look good quality. We were also unable to use in a tripod because it was to tall for the location we were filming in (fireplace) , this proves we need to be slightly more organised when it comes to filming because we could have planned using a mini tripod. However, we improvised by using a stack of books at the level we needed, this meant we had to be very careful not to move the camera out of position because  it would break the continuity of the scene. I feel mine and Daisy's teamwork was very successful when filming as one person captured the photo's while the other one concentrated on moving the objects. My next intension will be to edit this scene and the next filming date is the 28th November where we plan to film the guitar and drum scenes, for this we have organised a tripod, camera, lighting and the props we will be using within each shot.
