Filming week

Having planned in advance what shots we were going to film when and what props we would need on certain days, we started our first session of filming knowing exactly what we wanted to achieve by the end of the lesson. Our first shot was of an overflowing sink, which as you can imagine, involved a lot of water, therefore was quite an eventful shoot. Hovever, we did manage to shoot all of the shots we had planned for that day, and even started on some of the shots we had planned to film next lesson. The next two lessons, we spent filming and achieved everything we had set out to do in each session, making us right on schedule. We also made sure we captured all our footage after each session, including the shots Aiko filmed when she took the camera home with her. As we finished filming our intended shots on the third and final lesson, we filmed a couple more shots that we spontaneously thought of, that fitted with the theme of our film.
At friday lunchtime, our group asked to use the photography dark room to film a couple more shots in. This turned out to be a great location for filming, as it has appopriate lighting for a thriller. Plus, as our film is about a stalker, it was very appropriate to be filming in a room for developing photographs as that is what our main character does.
Our preparation definately paid off, as when it came to editing our footage, we realised we had even more footage to work with than what we thought, giving us a lot more choice when it came to selecting the best shots to include in our thriller sequence.
