Filming

When filming we came across some problems, such as the lighting was a huge problem for us as most of our shots were far too dark to be able to see. This meant that i had to re-film the outside and bathroom scenes and try to add more light into the shot without the light being over powering, because i still wanted to keep the dark scary atmosphere. I did this by turning on surrounding lights in the hall when Abbi would be on the floor crawling out of the toliet, and the way i got round the problem of the outdoor shots being either too dark or too light was while editing changing the contrast and brightness within the shot. This worked very well as we were able to make all of the shots look the same.
When we edited all of our film together, we discovered that some of the shots didnt move smoothly onto the next, therefore I had to re-do numerous shots to make sure that the action within the final film opening 1. made sense and 2. the film was smooth with its editing.
The shots i had to re-do were when Abbi was walking towards the house, as I was told that i needed to make the audience feel more involved with Abbi's character and have more emotions to her about the way she was feeling within the scenes. Another shot i needed to re-do was when Abbi and Chloe turn towards the knives, here i used match on action with Chloe's head turning from Abbi's point of veiw then to the knives point of view. This looked professional as i have edited them to move smoothly and make sense of the action within the shot.
