Filming - Day 2 - November 26th - by Josh

 For the start of our video we needed some shots of an official, office looking area where the thief would steal the Madeon disc. Fortunately, James's dad was the manager of a Volkswagen Beadles Garage in which we could film the opening shots. We would edit most of these later in the program: After Effects, to make the footage look as if it was shot from a CCTV camera. The filming only lasted about an hour or so but we got lots of filming done since it was only in one area we needed to shoot. We did this after school on a Monday night so we had all week to edit the footage.

 Below is the first shot we did that night: CCTV footage of Dan walking up the stairs, with James and Luke filming and myself videoing the making-of video.

 We did several shots of the stairway so we had plenty to choose from for our CCTV footage and regular footage. Below is another shot of Dan climbing the stairs, this time being in normal footage instead of the CCTV effect.

  Below is a close up of the thief breaking into the offices.

 The two shots below are both of the thief coming into the office to steal the disc.

 We did a number of shots inside this office so we had a range of different shots from different angles and perspectives we could use when later putting together our rough cut.

 The two shots below show the thief picking up the CD for a few seconds so the audience can see what it is and what is written on it. We realised only after we uploaded the footage onto a computer that in the second shot it was impossible to read what the CD has written on it due to the light reflection.

  For our last normal footage shot (below) we wanted to have something different from all the simple, standing shots, and with this panning shot we captured the thief leaving the offices in a much longer take than our other shots that day.

 We felt that this was a very successful day since we got a lot of filming done in a short space of time (we only had an hour at the Beadles garage). However, we will be going back there to re-film the close up of the CD so the writing is legible, and we may do some other shots there once we have received feedback on how to improve our full video's intro.
