Baby on Board - Filming

When it came to film Baby on Board, we ran into a few problems.

The first of these was that the actor that played the main character wasn't initially in school on either day of filming. Luckily he turned up on day 1 in time to film the party sequence. On the second day however, he didn't turn up. At this point in the filming,  if we were to find a replacement to play his part, we would have to re-film everything we had done the previous day. For this reason, we chose to instead change the script so that it made sense that he was not in school.

Another problem that we encountered was that we were not entirely sure what we were doing I'm regards to what the actors were asked to do. When we planned the storyboards we knew what camera angles and where the music would fit, but we didn't have a clear idea in our heads of what we wanted from the actors. This meant that in the filming it was difficult for us to explain to them what we wanted them to do, making it harder to get the footage we needed. We put this right by shooting the scene a few times in different ways.

From filming Baby on Board,  I have learnt to that we need to plan every last detail of what will be seen on the screen, including what's needed from the actors. We should also have back up actors in case some can't turn up on the day.

Evidence of preparation and planning

 Above is the printed copy of the Baby on Board title. I made this so that we could annotate the ideas we had and what changes were to be made before we put it into the film sequence.

This is the original plan of the shot list for Baby on Board. We used this so that we knew in detail what we were filming when it came to the production days. We drew diagrams of the classroom to show who would sit where, so that the scenes look like they are in a structured school setting. This also meant that we were more organized and prepared, and could easily vision what we wanted the final product to look like.




These are the storyboards we used in the planning stage. They are based on the shot list that we created, and show that we know what we want the sequence to look like. This means that we could plan our film with much more detail, down to the dialogue, editing and shot lengths we required.
