On Sunday 30th October we filmed stop start animations. We filmed some of the shots that are earlier in the production. These included the golliwog climbing the drawers, the golliwog sliding down the banister and the short walk along the hallway. These were our first time filming a stop start animation for our full production, so we found them quite slow to do. We were using thread and blue tac to keep the golliwog for the first time so it took us a while to work out the best way to use them. We filmed for 4 hours until we were stopped by the camera running out of battery, an issue we faced due to the hundreds of photos we had taken. We also had the drone available to us this day, however we were not able to use it as our phone did not want to connect to the drone due to a lack of mobile data signal in Drayton (a village). This meant we were not able to film the planned shot of the drone outside the house filming through the windows.
Sunday 6th November was our first day filming with Rory and Peter. We began filming early, starting at 10am, filming for multiple hours. We started the day filming Rory walking through the hallway past the golliwog. We cross referenced the position of the golliwog from the previous week to match it, hopefully avoiding continuity errors. We then filmed Rory walking through the kitchen, through the dinning room to the fridge. He then grabbed a can of coke (filmed from the GoPro) and walked back through the two rooms. This was a difficult scene to edit because we were not able to match his body positions in the shots so it was never truly smooth. What made this even worse is the shot in which Rory walks to the fridge, the footage was corrupted so we were missing the clip. Near enough this whole scene needed to be re-filmed. We then filmed Rory and Pete having a conversation in the lounge and Rory storming off. After this we filmed the two characters leaving the house from multiple different angles, including the drone shots.
The 14th November we filmed for a few hours after school on the Monday. This was another chance for us to complete stop start animations. We filmed the continuing shots from the banister scene. This was the golliwog walking into the kitchen and then along the cooker. We then filmed the stop start animation before Rory and Peter went to play football. This was the golliwog climbing to the window that overlooks the drive. We then filmed our last few shots, ready for the filming with the actors the following weekend. These stop start animations were of the golliwog climbing out of the bin inside and outside the house. This became a slight issue because it got very dark very quick. We were pushed for time, and unfortunately two of our shots needed to look and be outside. Thankfully Adrian is very capable with his camera, and was able to change settings such as the exposure to make the shot look brighter.
Sunday 20th November was our last day of filming. We started the day re-filming the shots in the kitchen of Rory walking through to the fridge. This whole scene became an issue when we filmed our stop start animation of the golliwog climbing up the cooker. This was because it was two weeks later from the first filming day, so everything in the kitchen was out of place. On the Monday we laid the kitchen out so it was easy to replicate the positioning of everything such as hand towels and kitchen utensils. This meant we were able to re-film all the shots without continuity errors. We then completed the football scene. This was finished with the two characters playing football, coming back home and then binning the golliwog. We then filmed Rory and Peter in different clothes to show a different day, sitting down to watch TV and then seeing the golliwog, so they bin it again, but this time outside.
