The filming process took a total of 60 minutes, approximately, and consisted of the group collecting the recording equipment, filming the scenes and reurning the gear with our group labelled on the tape. I found the filming process easier than I expected which I can only put down to careful planning. However, the time that we shot the scenes wasn’t ideal as there was a P.E class on the other side of our set and occasionally these students needed to walk through the shots. Aside from this minor hitch, we rarely encountered any issues other than the fact that both of the actors occasionally forgot their lines. This wasn’t a major issue as we merely reminded them of the dialogue and re-shot the scene, which only reduced the amount of time that we had to film.

Prior to the process of filming, the team had been fairly fragmented, with each member working almost individually. However, during the filming process, each character equally contributed with roles that had been assigned in the preparation process. The results of this new-found teamwork are clearly evident in the scenes that we shot because there was communication, and a new respect for each other’s opinions.
After looking over the the raw, unedited footage of what we have filmed, we could easily conclude that there were a few scenes that needed to be filmed again generally due to poor camera angles which is evident as some shots were filmed above eye-level, and a few scenes described in our shot list were missing. Personally, I think we could have also used brighter lighting to bring out the subject, particularly in the corridor where the main source of lighting was behind the subject.
When we re-shot the scenes, it seemed that each individual within the group was more confident in their role. Aspects that we didn't consider during the initial filming session, such as lighting, was addressed in the second filming attempt and as a result of this, produced better quality rushes overall. However, similarly to the first filming attempt, there was a P.E class on the other side of our set. They weren't visible, but they did produce a significant amount of noise and disturbance to the filming process and the product. In future, we need to arrange to use the set at a quieter period to avoid this problem.
