The Hangover Filming part 2

Sunday 16th October


 Today was the day of our filming at park farm, where we had planned to do most of the shoots. For this shoot we also had our whole group, plus, vikki (Megans friend), who kindly agreed to play Tracey, Dave, Caitlins Dad who played the fathers bride and Lesley also Caitlins mum who played the brides mother! a very good effort from all, thankyou! 

We had to re arrange the room in the hotel, to replicate the set of the hangover as closely as we could, we had all the props needed, including a brides dress and three identical bridesmaid dresses!

The first scene we shot was the van scene, this because Bea('s) (the new member to our group) dad had a white van which he kindly said we could use and to save him waiting in the car park for too long! This scene was very quick and ran smoothly, We also took advantage of the people at the loaction at the time, we chose one of the many scenes  where you can see two ladies walking past the van who were attending a christening at park farm that day!

The second filming needed the use of the wedding dress and the bridesmaid dresses, this again was a simple zooming in shot, however we did have problems with the lighting which we were unable to attend to and amend. We thought we could slightly edit this when it came to actually editing the film as i think we underestimated the fact of how much equpiment is actually needed in the production of a film. We, obviously, did not have this equipment being on a budget of £00.00.

The following scenes however, were more complaicated after this, using almost everyone! Being the only adults around, understandably is hard to be confident amongst a young group of people, never the less after many takes Dave and Lesley did a very good job, and were very brave to agree to participate in the first place!

Lizzie and I did most of the filming, whilst everyone else chipped in, on the framing side of things! Alice was very good at helping with the lines and lifting the general mood of things! After a long 2 1/2 hours of shooting we all had a well earnt slice of cake or two, biscuits and sweets! I look forward to editing all the filming we have done and attempting to out it in to a running sequence for our first media film using the skills that James (the media guy, found out his name) taught me last time!
