Blogging our Shoot

Our shoot for our thriller opening didn't go as well as my group had hoped. we all arrived at the location for our shoot around 10.30 including our male actor Jake. we picked up our baby actor Luke but we had to wait for the arrival of our female actress Georgia. while waiting we began to set up the lighting for our bedroom scenes. once set we shot our opening scene - the light bulb flickering.


our female actress still hadn't arrived so we began to film our bathroom scenes. our male actor did a extremely well and the scene looked like it was a success.


our female actress finally arrived and we put her bloody make up on and shot her dead on the floor. As the time had dragged on to 12.30 our baby actor was getting restless and we were all getting extremely annoyed. we did attempt filming the baby scenes but it sadly failed as he was too tired.
we finished shooting the bedroom scenes and our male actors dramatic exit which seemed to have successfully.


when looking over our footage we were very disappointed  with ourselves. we had shot  our scenes  but hadn't look at what was in our shots. we had feet and hands from people who were not suppose to be there. we will be re-filming our thriller and take a lot more care in shooting it.

my role in filming the thriller was some camera work and looking at what was in shot on the camera. these jobs just werent mine though as my whole group took turns in doing these.

I personally think we used all the equipment we rented out to the full. there wasnt a scene were we didnt use the tripod or the mic on the cameras. i think i would have pefered a boom mic rather than the mic on the camera though but we did capture the sound fine. 


I would have liked everyone in my group to have properly looked at what was in shot while filming and taken extra care and a lot more time while shooting so we wouldnt have made as many mistakes as we did.
