Filming

When we were first starting filming we had two members of the group absent so we had to adapt to that a bit and do as much as we could. As we had one person acting and the other on the camera it meant that we couldn't really do any over the shoulder shots or any that involved two characters. But we managed to get the establishing shot of the door, and the two shots of someone walking and opening a door and then the next shot being them coming through the door on the other side. We also did a medium shot of my character with a line of speech, along with a shot of a photo falling to the floor and landing face up on the floor. This shot took us quite a lot of takes until it went right becuase, when dropped, the photo often drifts over too far so that then it doesn't end up landing in shot and sometimes not the right way up. All of the shots we filmed in this session were doubled up in night vision aswell because we couldn't get hold of any artificial lighting for the dark room so we could only have either all the lights on or no lights and film it in night vision mode which fits with the little story a bit better, but as we didn't have the other twos opinions, we just shot them both.

When we had the rest of our group we went to finish our filming and got the rest of our shots done, we also cut out alot of the speech so that it's more simple. After showing the group the footage we shot the day before we all decided that we liked the night vision shots better so all the shots we shot after that were in night vision.
When we had all of our footage we started to log each shot we had done, including the ones we might not want. We write down what the time code was, what type of shot it was, what happens in the shot and whether we want to use it or not so that when it comes to capturing the film we know exactly where everything we want is.
