us this week was the daylight as we started later in the day and it gets dark very quickly
during the winter months meaning we would have to refilm during a third week.
The third week of filming wasnt successful as the actor and actress werent very
focussed meaning there were many shots of her laughing while we were filming
resulting in unusable footage. As we lost daylight quick this resulted in eight minutes of
footage where only 1-2 minutes were usable. Quickly closing in on our deadline we
were told to refilm everything using the camera we originally used which was the Canon
700D.
To ensure we filmed everything we needed we met at 9:00am to arrive at the forest for
9:30am. I as well as the director managed to film everything by 2:00pm. When doing
parts such as when Ella, our main actress turns around to see The Whistler, she felt
more comfortable around the director therefore some parts were filmed on a 1-1 basis
depending on the nature of the shot. On the Sunday I filmed establishing shots such as
the water ripple to ensure we had extra footage just in case.
Overall, our film went well as we completed the task, but if I were to do this again I
would film earlier in the year to ensure we had as much time possible to film and werent
restricted. As well as this, chosen an idea that wouldnt hinder us as we could only film
on weekends as if we went after school it would be dark by the time we got there.
