Filming Dates

Dates for filming/editing, when, where and what happened on theses days.

21 February 3-6pm (Sun set at 6pm) -
First day of filming on location. We filmed over 70 shots from several angles. Loosing light was our main problem. The weather was sunning with few clouds making great silhouettes when filming under the trees. Shots of myself, used in the opening, running were all shot on this day.

22 February 9:30am-12:00pm -
Once again sunny day with good lighting. We filmed on Shire Hill once again, this time capturing establishing shots along with some close ups of surroundings and plants. Problems we had were the amount of walkers on the Hill as it was day time. We had to wait politely for passer bys to continue out of shot.

1 March 1:30am-13:15pm -
This was our first day of editing. We decided to use Matthew's laptop to edit our film as both he and I are more comfortable with the editing software. We started by placing our chosen shots in a suitable order.

4 March 9:30pm-12pm -
We now started to add a red tint to our shots. More changing of the shot positions was made along with cutting shots to shorten our running time.

8 March 1:30am-3:15pm -
After shortening most of our shots we began to add on breathing and none diogetic sounds to fit each shot.

11March 9:30am-1:15pm -
After editing our product and feeling happy with the editing so far, we showed our work to Mrs. After hearing her response we began to edit our film some more. We added extremely short shots of plants, hands and myself running into longer shots to create a some what subliminal message feel to the piece.

15 March 1:30pm-3:15 -
Once again we showed our work to Mrs. after she said what she liked she added we should add some alternate feeling shots, as our shots are very fast paced. We decided to think of slower shots that could relate to the narrative and opening. We thought of:
  • Police discovering a body in the woods
  • Police tape with flashing lights
  • Graves, stills also useful for titles to be placed on
18 March 9:30am-12pm - On this day we decided to film some short still shots of graves to edit the titles over. However this footage was not used.

22 March 9:30am-12pm -
After deciding against Mrs.'s comments as we felt they would distract the audience from the fast paced opening, we added our titles to our film. Placing them before any shots are shown with music and eerie fades, on a black screen with ghost like white writing.

25 March -
I was absent on this day, however filming and editing is now completed.
