On the 30th of November our group decided to go filming at Regents Park so we could re-film the footage that came out too dark. We had a successful time whilst filming as we were able to film everything that we needed to and more. However, when we got back to the editing suite at college we realised we create ourselves a mise-en-scene problem that would appear in a couple of our shots. What we discovered was that we left the camera bags in the middle of our shot, it was very obvious mistake but when we were filming we didn't see it. Unfortunately, we desperately needed this shot in our title sequence so we had to find a solution and quickly. We didn't have the time to go out to Regents Park and re-film the scenes again as we had to go to different locations to film more footage for the rest of our tile sequence.
Luckily we were able to come up with a temporary fix that would help us for a short amount of time. The media technician helped us cover up the dark, grey camera bags that were in the middle of our footage. He cut out a piece of the screen which featured leaves in it.
He then layered it on top of the camera bag that was evident in the footage, this worked as there was lots of leaves and trees surrounding our filming location for this day so the cut out camouflaged into the background. The technician then feathered out the edges of the cut out and it blended into the background.
When the technician had finished trying to blend the cut out into the background, we asked people in our class and the other technician to see if they could see anything wrong with the footage and none of them noticed the cover up until we told them what we did. This temporary fix could work out for good and hopefully we will be able to use it in our final product, otherwise we will have to go out and re-film the shot.
