During the weekend I got to go to the school and film some of my short movie. I actually got much more done than I expected. The part of the film that showed the play doe man running into the bush was very difficult. The dirt was damp and very hard to move the play doe man in properly. It's already hard enough filming him running of flat ground! I just decided to start moving him through the dirt, swinging his arms, making it appear like he was walking properly when his legs couldn't be seen. All I have left to film is the rest of the scenes with Charlie at the start and finish of the movie. Other than that, I have finished all of the scenes with just the play doe man!! YAY!!! I have uploaded the scenes that I have finished today and some older ones too.

Because Charli had to start her film, I had to start the second part of my film with the play doe person (who I still have yet to name). At the start of filming it was going ok. I had to admit it was a little hard at some times, for example, the camera moving through the bushes. Because the floor was unstable with swigs and mud everywhere, it was hard to keep steady and smooth. Although, I think it turned out great. The hardest part of the filming of the second part was making my play doe person move. I expected it to be difficult but not as difficult as it actually was. I wanted to make my person cute, so I made him have short arms and legs and gave him little hairs at the top of his head. But because the legs where short, it was harder to make my person walk. After a while the legs were getting disoriented because I was dragging them against the concrete. This made the process more difficult as I had to keep stopping and fixing up the legs. This made me lose the placing of the person a few times and also made the filming take longer. This resulted in me having to stop in the middle if filming to go to my next class. I really need to start estimating what time it is, how long do I have left, and how long is it going to take to film a curtain scene.
