I found that capturing our footage was quite difficult as there was many items scatted around the room that we had based our footage in, we first had to clean everything up to make our footage more professional and also to make Carlson seem like a MI6 agent. After we had tidied this up and kept focus on continuity we decided to begin filming. We gave Carlson a smart, professional look but also dressed him the way we did to show that he has his own personal problems, we did this by showing Carlson with his shirt un-tucked as he is a normal type of guy.
The main difficulty towards filming was trying to keep continuity unnoticeable, on every shot we filmed we checked over the footage to find out if any object was in a place where it shouldn’t have been. Before we started to film everything that wasn’t meant to be in the shot was moved to outside so nothing we didn’t want was in the shot. Overall the footage was clear of any continuity or objects that weren’t meant to be in the overall outcome as we checked clearly and tried our hardest to avoid any mistakes when filming.
Our filming went on for forty five minutes as we checked every shot taken to see if we could notice any distractions or irrelevant objects that had evolved in the footage. We did find many objects that were irrelevant for our footage so we moved them clear out the way, we also made many mistakes whilst filming such as the acting and characteristics wasn’t up to our standards, to avoid this we adjusted the angles of many shots and tried readjusting the camera to suit the footage. The lighting also played a big part in our footage as Hugo’s house has many windows in the rooms that we needed to use, when the lighting was too bright then we would simply change the settings on the camera. Some of our shots were to dark to use so we simply added light and adjusted our tripod and camera so the lighting would be up to standard in the shot.
