Day 1
Filming in North Thorndon country park
time: 3:45
Claudia, Jake, Tom, Sophie, and Charlotte
We started the day by going to charlottes house with her sister to do make-up and sort out any props we needed. We had already scouted for the perfect location for filming the first forest scene. When we arrived, it was raining slightly however this wasnt a disadvantage as when we edit the scenes, it will give a good affect. We started filming the first shot from various different angles, this allowed us to have a variety to choose from so we could get the best shot. Although it was freezing cold and now pouring with rain our charcters still percivered with the repetative shots we had to do. the hardest shot we found to do was the 360 pan of the forest to esablish the location straight away to our audience, the tripod we used was very stiff to turn and was a struggle not to judder the camera, after trying a few times with this shot, we decided to use a shot on tom iphone at the start of our film to put with the titles, of a portrait angle of the woods as we were driving along,out the window. We also found it hard to producea high angle shot, Tom tried to climb some trees to get a higher shot of claudia laying on the floor in her dream however because of the weather conditions it was unsafe and slippery for him to do so. The footage we ended up with for this day was deffinetly good to use for the final cut of the film as we filmed form lots of different angles for a good dream seqence. however as we ran out of time, because the park was closing and we were all very cold and wet, we had to skip a bit of the dream sequence for another rainy day at the same time so the lighting would be at a good continutity.
