We began the production process of our video by deciding what we thought the storyboard was saying for us to do. We then decided where we thought the best place to film each part would be whilst deciding what angles to use. I already had experience using a video camera and another person in our group had experience with angles and tripod placement from photography so that made things a bit easier.
To ensure we had continuity we had to make sure that our actors were wearing the same things the next day when we had to film over two days. This wasn't very hard how ever made all of the difference.
We used a simple 'tape' video camera to record our film. This wasn't very good because it meant that we had to wait 2 seconds before filming and 2 seconds after before stopping, causing us to make more unnecessary editing and therefore required more time to complete.
We also used a tri-pod which meant that filming a steady shot was easy. Thanks to having someone in our group that had some experience with a tri pod it meant that we had very few problems using it. This made it a lot easier, however we did have a couple of shots that weren't quite flat and therefore made it look a bit more unprofessional.
