Mohamed and his group worked on filming scenes for their production over several weeks. They filmed opening scenes at Primrose Hill and outside a school, dealing with changing weather and other distractions. Mohamed obtained permission for the group to film a dramatic running scene in a local estate. After reviewing footage, they filmed additional shots and Mohamed borrowed equipment to film more scenes over the weekend. The group uploaded footage and began editing separately using editing software downloaded to their computers.
Production log
- 1. Mohamed Mahmoud Production Log On Wednesday 7th of November, me and my group members got together and discussed when our filming will be also we looked at the preparation task to try and produce an outstanding piece of work. Monday 12th November, we prepared to shoot our first scene. So therefore we went to primrose hill because our opening scene will be set there. I suggested that we should film in the morning because it will be best and also it is not packed. The atmosphere wasn’t perfect but we could work with it so it didn’t really matter, but suddenly half way to finish filming it started to snow so we had to stop the rest of the session and postpone it till the snow stopped . Wednesday 14th November, we got back to finishing our opening scene the weather was the same as before so we didn’t have to start filming all over again. We started to film our second shot outside Haverstock school in this shot we had 2 characters walking to the shop to connote it was a normal day. But we had to wait till there were no pedestrians, busses, cars, cyclists and other distractions that will get in our way while filming. This wasn’t happening so I told my group members we should go up the hill because there were no distractions. Friday 16th November, we filmed another scene but this is where the entire dramatic running scene came in. I and my group members went to a local estate to film in a block of flats were I will be getting chased. We didn’t have permission to film in the estate so then I went to try and grant permission for us to film. We took a variety of shots so then when we started filming we can choose the best footage. Tuesday 20th November, we went through our footages and then I suggested to my group members the footages that weren’t good enough we went. After that we went for some last shots it all went to plan our group managed to film everything that wasn’t filmed also we gained a lot more confidence from before and gained more knowledge and our shots were a lot more better I also requested that we should ask to get permission to borrow the camera for the weekend and get some scenes and shots done, my request was granted so that was very useful to me and my group. Thursday 22nd November, we uploaded all the shots in our video camera to use and edit from there I put all the shots in to my hard drive so did everyone else from then on we worked separately. After
- 2. Mohamed Mahmoud that I arranged the shots and helped my group members arrange their shots and help them put it under titles so it would be easy to find. Friday 23rd November, finally The editing software was downloaded and put on to the computer but there was one problem it was only downloaded to 1 room so we couldn’t do it any were else and the room was sometimes used, so therefore to make it easier we downloaded the software at home so we can edit at home. I think I helped my group a lot and I think I was a key element for the group.
