Filming

Monday 8th February. 

As a group we had all planned to meet up at my house at 5:00pm to start to film our opening. However, looking back now i think starting that late wasn't very clever, as a few of our scenes were to be filmed outside, and it was too dark by this time to film anything. But, we did have a lot of shots from inside, which we were able to do. Using our thumbnails we were able to get each scene done quickly without the hassle of having to explain everything. Another problem i think we faced on this day was that people weren't taking it seriously, as during make up we were all having a laugh and didn't take into consideration how much time we had and how dark outside and inside were.

Tuesday 9th February.

In our practical lesson in the class we got to see what our scenes that we had filmed had turned out like. Here we faced our first problem, most of our shots were too dark and we couldn't edit them to look lighter, this meant that when we went to film again on Thursday we had even more to do. However, this also helped us to see how we could change the lighting to be lighter, while keeping the creepy atmosphere, not all of the shots were too dark, just a few which needed to be emphasised more on Abbi's face in that scene. 

Thursday 11th February.

We started at 3.30 this time, this gave us time to make sure that we did Chloe's hair and make up the same, while keeping us with enough time to film all the outside scenes while it was still light. We'd finished the hair and make up by 4.15, and we went straight outside to start to film the opening. I think this day we were more practical with timing and co-operation with each other, as we made a rule of no messing around until everything was done. Also it was cold outside, so we wanted to get all the outside scenes done as quickly as possible.

Once on the inside scenes we thought more about the lighting, and this time the lighting in the hallway was much better, as we were able to see all of the action on the camera, while keeping that creepy atmosphere we were very keen on keeping.
