Construction - Filming
My group decided to film on Wednesday 9th December, as we were unable to film on our original day as the location we needed was unavailable. We chose to film after college in the evening, as then we could avoid the natural light changing throughout the morning and afternoon, plus this time frame worked most appropriately for Izzy and I, and our two friends that featured in the clip.
Our thriller opening was filmed in our friend Charlotte's bedroom, mainly focusing aorund her dressing table and the stairs that lead up to her bedroom door as this is where we planned the majority of the narrative to occur.
We decided to slightly adapt the female character's costume as it was a very cold on the night we chose to film, so instead of using the summery crop top we had originally chosen, we picked a light grey jumper which still portrayed the feminine and girly representation we were going for, and also kept me warm.
The beginning of the filming process was slightly difficult as we couldn't get the camera to function properly as the memory SD card was locked, so I had to look up on the Internet how to unlock it and then make sure we could film all our footage without running out of memory or erasing previous students' work.We also had a slight problem with focusing the camera at the beginning of the filming process as we couldn't figure out how to change the focusing options from manual focus to auto focus, however we shortly figured this out and from then on the filming process worked smoothly and we encountered no other issues. We worked successfully and effectively as a team and finished our filming within our tight 3 hour schedule, and even managed to add in some extra effects which Izzy and I will incorporate in our editing process.
