Main Task- Second day of Filming

Second day of Filming:

The second day we decided to film the phone call scene, Alicia’s panicking scene with killer in the background and also when the killer strangles Alicia. We started filming the phone call scene with Alicia’s friend in it; the location was set in Cheney School, in one of the drama block classes. In Spite of this, we moved Alicia to a different location in Cheney School to film her response to the friends’ phone call. After that we went to the top playground of Cheney School where we filmed Alicia’s strangling scene and filmed the panicking scene nearby the same location. 

Difficulties

These are the following difficulties we found while filming some of our chosen scenes:

• Weather condition (really cold)

• Figures got to cold that caused some issues when working with the tripod, as you couldn’t move it without it shaking and moving.

• No encounter’s of unwanted people or distractions occurred; although some problems came up with our main character that was meant to be ‘Aimee Moynaan’ and therefore had to substitute someone else to take her place.

• This caused many problems, as our actors that we used for the first draft of our film had to learn the script on the day of filming suddenly.

• Except while we were filming our scenes with the killer, the weather was very bad as it was heavily raining, but this went in our bounce as it made these scenes more realistic because now when it came to editing we did not have to add in non-diagetic sounds to make it look natural, also unsurprisingly it messed up the characters make up and hair too.

• However this meant we had to take extra care of all the electronic equipment to not let any water got on to them.

Improvements

• When filming our final draft we will have to make sure the quietly of the tripod is a lot better then the one we’ve got, so it can be used a lot more steadier
• We will check the weather in advance to not cause any damage to the filming equipment if in danger of the rain.
• Lastly make sure all the cast members have memorised there line to save time when come to filming.
