Filming 10/12/15

Today was the first day of filming. The weather was overcast, which is what we wanted because we thought that it would help us to create an eerie atmosphere. We completed all of our outdoor filming and managed to incorporate the interruption of rain to our production. We got a shot of the rain bouncing off and into a puddle and then had George come into shot and walk through the puddle, we chose to do this as once edited it would help to set the scene. 

The problems we faced were minor and were easily solved. For example our location was littered and ruined the mise en scene so we cleared it away and continued with our filming. The second problem we faced was with Amy and George because they were un sure on how to perform a certain scene where George grabs her forcefully, however once we had conferred and re assured them, they were comfortable and performed it well. Abi and I took it in turns to Film and direct as we were aware that we had to evenly split the jobs. We helped each other by assisting with the set up of the equipment and we consulted each other with each decision we made. For example, when George wasn't sure where to stand, together we made the decision for him to be completely out of shot to start with and the walk into the shot. We made this decision because we thought it would allow his character to make more impact to the production and emphasise his role in the film, because he would be starting it.

We helped ourselves because we had already drawn a storyboard with specific shots on. As a result of this we were able to limit the time in which we spent filming because we were not making it up as we went along.

I was filming a shot of George walking onto the scene, but just of his feet. Because the tripod does not go that low i was struggling to get a steady shot, so I used Abi's foot to rest the camera on in order to get a steady low shot of George. 

Here is a image of us getting the shot:
