Today we had mostly everything we needed (costumes/props/cast etc) and had access to our location, so we were able to film half of film opening. However, one of our group members, Lottie, was unable to attend this filming session. So present was Me, Jack and Hannah. We worked around this by distributing her role from that session to everyone else in the group.
We scheduled to meet at our location at 7pm as we needed it to be dark, but this proved to be a bit of a problem as we didn't have enough time to film everything we wanted to from that session due to the restrictions of being in our location that late. We learned from this that during our next filming session we would schedule to meet at an earlier time of 6 so we could have more time.
The equipment that we had with us for this filming session included a tripod and a video camera with a built in microphone. We decided that as this part of our filming doesn't involve much dialogue we wouldn't need another microphone at this point. We had all the props that we needed including the fake blood, the costume for the creature and the mobile phone.
We also brought with us our final storyboard so that we could follow it as we filmed, and a checklist of all the shots and Hannah would tick them off as we went so we would know what we had left to do for the next filming session.
As well as all this we thought it would be good to take a digital camera with us so as we filmed hannah would be taking pictures to show the process of this filming session and things such as props and the location.
As we only had our main actor, Angela, were filmed the bits that only her were in, which were from when she enters the door right up to the end shot. We decided we would film in the order that our shots came in on the storyboard as this would be easier for us.
First we filmed from our first location which was where she comes in through the door. (We would have previously seen her running from the other side in the shot before it) We filmed this is a variety of ways, using long shots, mid shots and close up's and then we would later decide which one to use, or which combination to use. After this, we filmed in our second location, her going up the stairs. We also filmed this in a variety of ways, from behind of her going up the stairs, in front of her, and at the top of the stairs while she was walking up. Next we filmed in the main location of the hall. We filmed her coming through the door into the hall (we would have previously seen her coming through the door on the other side after climbing the stairs)
After this, we skipped many shots and decided that we would do these on our second day of filming as we were running out of time. We filmed our last few shots of the dead body, using the fake blood that we made, and filmed this from a variety of different angles.
Here are some of the pictures that I took whilst we were filming on this day.
