The class was split into 2 groups to complete this task. As a class, we decided to do boys in one group and girls in the other. Katie, Millie, Tilly, Poppy and myself each pitched an idea for a micro drama to one another. We spoke about the positives and negatives of each pitch and then came to a conclusion on what we would film using an idea from Tilly.
We altered aspects to suit everyone and came up with a central location for the filming. We sorted out props and these were taken care of by several members in the group before the shooting in the middle of half term. We spent several hours in the afternoon filming different shots until we had appropriate amount of footage. The organisation between the 5 of us worked well as everyone was in contact with each other regularly.
We each took an important role in the filming and had planned so that each member of the group would have a specific role. Poppy filmed, Kate took on the role of a news reporter, Millie- a murderer and myself and tilly were the 2 main characters who are abducted and killed.
We had several issues when filming; the main one being the camara ran out of battery before we had finished. We got around this by using an IPhone 4s which should be similar in quality to the camara we were using. When we uploaded the footage we realised a part of it had been effected by the wind, the voice of the 'news reporter' was not very clear. As we had filmed in Ilkley park, it was difficult to get a shot where there were not people passing by or background noise/voices, however we felt it did not effect the footage too much.
