Filming Day!

We arrived at James' for 11.30am, and for 2 hours we decided the order of the scenes we were going to shoot and in what locations we were going to shoot them. We decided to shoot the outside scenes first as we found a great location which was dark for the suspense but was well lit so we could get clear shots. We weren't able to use the cat outside for obvious reasons but I still mentioned it on the risk assessment as it would of been a risk but instead we used a piece of black material, so the audience know something is in there but don't know exactly what it is. Shooting the scenes outside took us about an hour or so, because we shot many short scenes and we had to get the camera angles right.

There was a bit of trouble as it was a rainy dull day and our location was slightly muddy so we had to make sure the equipment clean and safe from any damage throughout the whole filming day.

After finishing the outdoor scenes, we went back to James' house to film the scene just outside his house and the scenes inside the house. We changed some of the shots and replaced them with more effective shots such as we used the living room for the conversation scene instead of the kitchen because as it came to filming it looked and worked much better.

The whole filming day was successful as we finished at 4 and used the school camera so we know our filming will be safe on the back up tape also.
