Our group filmed the task on two separate days however this was acceptable for the continuity of the film as they were two different scenes. One was indoors in a single room, and the another was outdoors on a football pitch on a bright morning, which was helpful because good lighting is always a bonus. There were other scenes that showed the character having basic skills and then learning those skills again.
We had spent 1 hour of the 2 hour lesson on Tuesday 23rd November planning the story and camera shots. Then after this we shot the 'skills' scenes. These were relatively simple to do so we film them well, particularly the autograph shot.
On Thursday 25th we filmed the 'Doctors' scene which required a lot of patience. Especially with the wheelchair as it was difficult to manouvre around the room, as well filming it move into the room. Filming in a small space was tricky as there is not a lot to work with in terms of a variety of camera shots.
Friday 26th was the final day of filming, we went out to the football pitch and filmed the scenes roughly in the same area. Personally I found one particular shot to be a fair struggle as I had to throw a football then gently grab and pan the camera in quick succession. The sunlight was very bright on this day which was a great advantage for filming as we could get clear and crisp shots. We believed that a silhouette would help the mood of a particular shot, that turned out well when seen in the editing stage.
In the editing stage we looked at the 'Doctors' scene and decided to redo the whole scene. There were problems with lighting and the shots generally did not appear to be fairly bad quality. So we went back into the room and refined our shots. This time we had an extra shot outside of the room of the main character and the 'assistant' sitting next to the door, the door is then opened by the 'doctor' with the protagonist being wheeled in by the 'assistant'.
