Filming

We started filming on Tuesday 10th Nov, using the filming schedule and storybroad, so we had it planned out well. However when we started filming I realised how much planning really needs to be done and that there are so many things that needed to be taken into consideration including, the weather , if locations and actors are available, camera shots whilst following the storyborad and trying to meet the criteria.

As we are filming a horror film trailer, we planned to film when it was getting dark. However as it is winter, it got dark very quickly limiting us as to how much we could film, so once it had got dark we found it hard to film as the lighting was difficult.


Having learnt from our previous attempt of filming, we went out days later ready to film again. We planned to go out earlier to allow ourselves more time to film. Witht the difficulty of lighting we improvised using car headlights to light up the house in that scene. Inside the house we had dim lighting to create the horror genre setting.A tourch was also used when a extra light was needed. We stuck to the filming scheudle and stroyborad and we got a considerable more amount of filming done, ready to start editing on the computer.
Below are photos of some of the propps used for film and the actually equipment.

The most difficult think I found about filming was trying to arrange when people were available to film. The difficulty was when people were unavailable but we had previously arranged to film which then set us back, or one person was available and the other not. However the actors we used were reliable and enabled us to film when and what we wanted, which made it easier to direct and to get a large amount of filming done.
