We filmed some band cutaways after school, taking advantage of the equipment that the school has. We made sure that the lighting was facing towards the camera, and shining behind the actors so that we could have a similar effect of a silhouette like in the bonfire scenes. However, we also wanted to see their faces more, so we used a whiteboard which the lights reflected onto their faces, as well as torches.
We found the filming fairly easy, but had difficulty in following some of the storyboard and also controlling a large number of people. We had to say "quiet on set" more than once, but when we had the shots, they looked really good, and still do on the rough cut.
After filming some stationary shots, we also tried to do a dolly zoom using the movable tables and the zoom on the camera. Although it was fun to try out, it didn't really work!
