Filming

So this weekend we brought the weeks of planning and preparation together and put it on camera, and I can gladly say that so far things are looking good. Just want to say thanks to Rosie Leathers for allowing us to shoot at her home providing us with a location that I personally felt worked better then I first imagined. We did consider other locations before filming at Rosie’s house. Me and Josh had checked out a rundown cottage in Woolpit and although it looked very good from the outside it was near impossible to film inside. We did think of filming the outside of the cottage then bringing the camera inside of Rosie’s house but the contrast was too great for it look believable.
Although Rosie’s house worked well on the whole, we did however experience minor difficulties. When we went to shoot the corridor scene we realised that the camera dolly was too wide for us to track down smoothly, so we decided to do several stills getting closer to the end each time, since this cuts the scene up we will have to cut in with pictures of the victims provided by josh.
We may have to go back during the week a reshoot a couple of scenes since lighting was a slight problem with both the camera and natural lighting coming through the windows, our final scene may also have to be reshoot but this can easily be done inside of school if it is a problem to shot at Rosie’s.
I feel that overall it was a successful day of filming getting all the provided shots; I also feel we worked well as a group with little to no disagreements, Kat took role of director whilst I filmed the majority of the project with Kat helping out with the opening scene. Josh set up the room and provided us with an excellent final map. We are now looking forward to see how it shows on the Mac and editing the piece.
