Over the Christmas holidays I was planning to film two of my locations for the opening, the woods and the street shots both of which would be filmed in Yorkshire. The filming for these locations remained on schedule and I filmed over 3 days.
On the first day I began my filming at around 2:00 leaving about 1 hour until it started to get dark having decided that for the running shots I would film while it was still light to make it easier for the actors (especially Simon who had to wear dark glasses). I will probably darken these shots in Final Cut Pro X when it comes to editing. My second day of filming in the woods took place when it was already dark so that I could do the silhouette shots and other shots that needed the darkness for the shot to work during the filming.
The third day of filming was the street shot which took place in Kirkbymoorside. This location was the hardest because it was on a road so there was a frequent problem of cars and people walking past, this meant that the filming took longer than it should of here and there are quite a lot of extra/unusable shots.
I then managed to also film my wimbledon location shots over the holidays before I had planned to. The shots for this location we very simple and therefore it didn't take long to film, and now that I have all the film it will be much easier for me to start the editing.
Overall I can say that the filming was quite time consuming, it was quite tricky at first getting to grips with each step to take for each shot. However, by the time I did my 4th day of filming in wimbledon I was much faster and more efficient at getting each shot done as it should be.
