Filming Issues

 Filming Issues

     Yesterday I was looking at my shots on my phone and I realized that I lost all of my filmings I had done of the skateboard. This was something I had not through of or anticipated in planning. I had originally planned on filming my next scene today but once I saw that I had lost the film I decided to re-film what I had lost. Before re-filming to ensure I wouldn't lose my film again I made copies of all of the shots. After I made copies I then moved them to a USB so I wouldn't lose them again. Once I did that I went back to my storyboard to see what shots I had to re-do. The storyboard was really good because it was a great reference especially when re-filming. I'm glad I did my storyboard to specific detail because it really helped with the ideas I had for shot angles which really pulled together each scene. The scene I had to reshoot was the skateboarding one of the mystery person skating. I used the solutions I had come up with before such as sitting on a different skateboard to film. Everything overall went smoothly and after filming I went over and copied all the film onto a flash drive. I don't know what happened to the film but I am very grateful that it only happened to a couple of shots and not all of my filming I had done. Now I truly understand how essential it is to ensure that your filming is copied and saved. I didn't get the chance to film and new scenes but I got to film all of the old ones. I ran out of sunlight by the time I finished filming the old shots. When the sun went down I would finish filming because I would like to keep my film lighted by natural light. Since daylight saving happened it is lighter longer outside. This is great for me because I can film later into the day without having to stop because of lighting. Overall today although it was an inconvenounce to re-film I learned a lot. I learned to copy film, how important a story board is, and that I should keep lighting into consideration. My filming has been going great overall.
