Filming Day 3

Filming Day 3
Both the alleyway scene and the kitchen scene are now successfuly filmed
with appropriate lighting. Due to the
practicing that we were able to do on our first attempt, the day ran fairly smoothly,
especially with the kitchen scene,
which we were able to repeat shot for shot with better lighting than our first attempt.
There was an issue with one
of our lights, but it transpired that one light was sufficient for both scenes.

The completing of the majority of our filming in one session has been a great
success for us, and gives
us a lot of work to do in terms of editing. We now only need the second murder scene,
which I feel confident
we can get done in one filming day, following the practice and experience that we
have gained from our filming of
these two scenes.

Filming Day 2


Filming Day 2

Our aim was to film both the alleyway scene and the kitchen scene in this one session, however 
this proved more difficult than expected. Our first problem came in the fact that Harry, who was
supposed to be playingthe victim in the alleyway scene, was delayed in getting
to our location. We also had issues with the lighting in the kitchen, as our light
was running low on battery and was thus very dim, meaning that 
subsequently we had to discard the footage we had taken of that scene. 
We were also unable to film any of the alleyway scene due to the absence of Harry and 
the extremely wet weather.


Despite our coming away with little to no usable footage, 
the day was actually very useful in terms of really 
getting to grips with the filming process in terms of organisation and technology. 
It also provided an opportunity 
for planning in context with our locations, as we had not visited the locations 
together before.


Happy New Year
