Filming - Day 1

The first day of filming allowed us to gain a lot of knowledge when it comes to the practical side of media, however when looking back at all the footage we had gathered we realised that all our footage was basically useless.

As we were all at school we decided that we would go to our location after school and film from 4 o'clock to 6 o'clock. This gave us two hours to set up and film Lauren's scene (this was because she would not be able to be there with us on the second filming day).

We set up as soon as we arrived which took about 30 minutes and we then went straight into filming Lauren's scene. However by the time we had finished setting up the sun was setting already.

Winn, Kirsty and Lauren all filmed at the same time from different angels resulting in more footage that we could use and myself and Tyler acted.

As a result of it getting dark very early in the winter we thought that it would be fine and we would be able to see our actors as a result of our light however when looking back on the footage we could hardly see our cast and we decided that if we wanted our opening to be the highest quality as possible we would have to re-film it. 

In addition to the bad lighting we felt that looking back on the day the use of our time could have been more effective and we collectively made the decision to create a scheduled for our next filming day and make sure we make the most of our time. 

Kirsty edited together the clips we got from Lauren's scene that we filmed. I feel that despite the bad quality this clip gave a good idea of what we will want out final product to look like. In addition I feel Kirsty did a really good job at editing the very low quality footage and making it appear well on the screen. 

We also found that the costumes that some of our actors wore were not effective in the dark lighting causing us to reconsider the 

I feel that although the footage we got was -in my opinion- awful, it allowed the group to gain insight into how sometimes things wont go as planned and that we need to be prepared for the worst to happen.
