Most of our film was filmed during weekends, and then we
would take the footage in to school and edit it during the week. Because the
actors we used were form a GCSE drama class, it was easy to get them to perform
the roles to a high standard, especially with the two main actors. On one of
the shooting days, when filming the bathroom scene, my partner was away doing a
P.E assessment. This therefore meant that I had to shoot on my own. However
because we had already planed every shot in our technical recce, it was an easy
and quick process. When filming with lots of extras, we split the actors into
two groups, those with lines and those without. I set up the camera and got our scripted
actors to stand in the correct position, while Tom gave a briefing to the
others, explaining what they were expected to do. This was really useful on set as it allowed us
to gain the best from our actors, as well as get filming done quickly. All in
all the filming went smoothly and as planned.
This is a clip of us managing the extras in the scene where Ronnie
moves from one side of the table to the other. As you can see we wanted them to
stay as still as possible in order to move the actor, and obtain the shot.
