The Lowest Majority - Filming Update

Me and Mr Burton went out and started shooting some of the opening footage yesterday. We arrived on location with Oliver Clarkson, Jonathon Moore, and Lauren O Brien, James waited for the rest of our actors and team, while I went to get to more actors from town who agreed to help shoot the scenes we needed. However when I went to meet the actors it was dicovered that one of them had recently just had a broken foot, so walking back took longer than expected which was a problem, as time was up against us in terms of the sun going down. We only had around an hour tops to film before it got to dark. When I arrived with Stuart Ellis and David Barrit (the actors I went to meet) the rest of the people had already arrived, William Crawley and Ellen Bradshaw. With only limited time left to shoot before it got too dark, attentioned turned to the actors make up, where another problem occured, we needed water to apply the make up. I then ran to the nearest shop to buy some where another problem occured and the only water I could get was sparkling and flavoured. With that said I returned to the sight with two bottles of sparkling Mountain Spring Water, and a bottle of still Lemon and Lime flavoured water. We then applied the make up to the "zombies" with help from Lauren, our make up lady for the day. With Jonathon, Ellen, Stuart and William all made over, we set to work filming what we could in the very little light left, because at this point it was close to being total darkness, but lucky the area, in which we were shooting, had alot of street lights going along it so it gave us enough ligth for the camera to pick things up. We managed to shoot some footage, but in the end with it being so dark me and James decided it would be best if we used this time as filming test footage, which we managed to gain some good results in terms of light and camera angles we could use. But also some of the footage we did film can also be used in the film itself, so we were happy with what we got. We then decided to call it a night after it got really dark and the filming kept getting constantly interupted by passers by but the nigth wasn't a total waste in our opinion and me and James are both confident we will have all footage shot by the deadline. x

The Lowest Majority - Final Project Report

Me and James, have been working hard to get all the filming and technical work done. So far we have shot all the newsreports that will feature in our film. However due to multiple problems, we havnt been able to shoot anything else :( However! we are confident and happy that we will film everything needed by the end of next week, if not this week. The biggest problem we may have to face is the make up needed to make the zombies look scary and realistic or as close to that as we can achieve, but luckily we have a couple of people who have voluntered to help out with that portion and ill role up my sleeves and give it a bash aswel. Once filming is complete we will be editing it altogether and giving it the effects needed, for it, but for now we are just working on the annimations of production and film logos, aswel as the title and credits. So fingers crossed all will be filmed next week :)
