Filming - 7th November

Today we met up to carry on with our filming. Firstly we filmed the establishing shot of the houses - we did this on Sally's road because it was nearby and looked like a normal, friendly street. At first we tried to film by standing on the opposite side of the road but this didn't work as the road was too narrow and we couldn't get much of the houses in; we then decided to stand in the entry and this worked and we got the shots. We got the shots of just houses with no movement but we also decided to do one where the camera is moving so it got most of the street in.
We then did the second shot on the storyboard which was the one of the key in the lock. There was confusion about this because me and Sally thought of Kate coming out and locking the door, while Hannah and Aimee thought it was a close up of the door lock, because of this happening we decided to do both and see which one looked best. After filming the one of Kate coming out and locking the door was more popular with our group, but we will decide on the final one when we look over our filming properly.
After we had filmed them two shots we went to the field where we were originally thinking of when we were creating our storyboards. This was a good place to film because it has lots of different things that we needed - trees, gates and clear bits of field. After we got to coundon wedge we filmed the next bit for our trailer. This was Kate walking through the field and then a close up of the gate she walked through closing. We did the shot of Kate walking three times just to make sure we had enough footage, and while me and Sally were putting her in position and telling her when to go, Aimee and Hannah were making sure the camera was level and everything was right with it. We then did the gate closing and Sally held the gate while she was out of site and I told her when to go; we did this twice because Sally's hand was in shot the first time and also there were horses in the field so we had to try to not get them in the shots.
We then decided to go to the wooded area so we could film Kate walking through the trees. Me and Sally went to show Kate where to stand so we walked through the woods and picked a good part out, while Aimee and Hannah were at the edge of the woods setting up the camera. After we had told Kate where to stand Hannah signalled to me when she was filming and I was standing at the side near Kate so I could see Hannah and signal to Kate when to go. We first one that was filmed was good but we decided to do it again and see what it would look like with Kate walking away from the camera into the woods instead of out of the woods towards the camera. Although we experimented with both the first shot was better as we could see Kate's facial expression instead of the back of the head. After this we decided to just have a shot of the woods just incase it would look appropraite somewhere in the trailer. After this me and Aimee went to set up the shrine while Sally painted her hand red and put it on a tree so it looked like a bloody hand print, Hannah then recorded this for one of the fast shots.
Hannah and Sally then came to help us finish the shrine and after we had finished it looked really good; Hannah took shots of just the shrine and then I directed Kate where to stand and what poses to do when she got into the shrine, and then Hannah recorded her in the shrine.
This was the end of our filming because it was getting too dark and we had also done basically everything we wanted to do - we made great progress with our filming and that is a majority of it done.
