However, due to the weather our filming did not go quite to plan.
On the Monday the wind was very strong, so we were unable to film the shots with the box forts otherwise the boxes would have blown everywhere. So instead we filmed the inside scenes of the "king" waking up and in the bathroom.
We then wanted to get as much of the fighting scenes done as we could, so we decided to use a selection of different cameras to reduce filming time and to get different angles of the same shot. This also means that some of the qualities will look different. This is used in Bastille's video for the song Laura Palmer, where some of the shots have the effect of being filmed on a standard video camera.
The devices we filmed on were: iPhone 4S
Canon 450D
Sony Handycam
Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom
We also filmed most of the fight sequences in Lucy's (my) garden because it was more sheltered from the wind.
So on Tuesday, once we had filmed at Natalia's house and in the woods, which pretty much went according to plan (the only shot we couldn't get to work was the arrow next to the kings head as the arrow would not stay on the tree). We then went back to Lucy's (my) house to film the box forts. The wind was still very strong, but not so strong that we couldn't do anything with the boxes. So we had to take out the shots of the box forts being built because the wind would have blown them around so much that the shoot would have taken too long. Instead we built the forts and took shots of the teams inside their forts and then had the two teams charging at each other and fighting. Now, because we took out the building sequence we had some space to fill up, so we decided to let the teams destroy each other's forts, and by filming with two cameras at the same time we got some good shots.
By the time we got to Wednesday we were ahead of schedule so we only had to shoot three scenes, so as we had extra time we shot the same scene from several different angles to be able to choose the best one.
