FILMING 1


WHAT WENT WELL

I started filming today. I managed to film most of the scenes as the weather was surprisingly good and I had a lot of time. I was quite lucky as the weather was very good considering it's winter, so I managed to get the lighting how I wanted it - to seem more realistic and natural, (so when the sun was shining brightly and reflecting onto the camera, it looked good).

WHAT DIDN'T GO SO WELL...


I had a few problems with the filming inside my friends house as there wasn't a lot of room to get the shots I wanted. To solve this problem I changed how I wanted my shots, and the shot-type. And I will have to change the transitions from what I had originally planned when I'm editing.


FILMING 2


WHAT WENT WELL...
The costume that Siobhan was dressed in looked really good and was exactly the look I was hoping to get. We managed to get everything I needed for this section filmed in very good tie, however it was very dark so this may make it hard to see what's going on in the film. But this is okay, as filming these scenes didn't take long I have time to re-take it this weekend if this is the case.


WHAT DIDN'T GO SO WELL...
The original location I had planned for this scene (see previous posts) was too dark to get a decent picture. So we had to hike around Newmarket, with Siobhan dressed the part in ripped tights and a fairly long black coat wearing leopard print heels... so we did get a few funny looks. However we did manage to find a decent alley with street lights to film in instead.


PROBLEMS...


I have looked through my footage today, and there are some things I need to re-film due to poor lighting. This was the scene with Siobhan running in the dark, unfortunately she is going to have to  freeze again so I can re-take this section!
