Filming Update

We recently had to film the scenes which are filmed in the house and in the final part of our thriller opening. This was mainly due to the fact that the original footage was too dark. We also did this to give us more to edit with, although we are almost over two minuets already in our edit without these parts we have re-filmed. As a consequence our edit might be longer than 2 minuets, though we will try to shorten it as much as possible.

Shooting Locations And Some Problems We Had

We Have Now finished our filming and beginning to edit. Among the locations that we filmed in were;

- Eaton Road outside CNS for the shots were the Evil girl is walking to a friends house. However we had to re-shoot the walking scene along Eaton road due to a continuity error.

- A room at school for the scene where the evil girl is creating the chemical that we see being poured into one of the mugs.

- We also filmed in a small basement for the same scene to try and create a feeling of claustrophobia and  Mysteriousness. However we decided not to use this footage as it was too dark to make-out the action in the scene.

- The Living room and kitchen of another person in our group's house for the scene where the friends are socialising and the scene where the evil girl is pouring the chemical into one of the mugs.

We did most of this within a couple of weeks, although we couldn't get it done quicker due to the fact that most of the only times we could film were in lesson time and one day after school. Also we had a problem with the format of the video that my camera outputted as the software we were using to edit as it wouldn't open. Although I converted it into a format that should work it would still not work on the software and we have yet to solve the problem. If I could do anything different about the filming next time I would have planed more in advance.
