Filming Entry 2

Our female actress was not available to film today or any other days, we therefore could not use her as the character. Searching for someone available proved difficult; thus making Dawn our last resort, which will make it easier as she know the script off by heart.
We also discovered, through experimentation, that a small button had previously been pressed - creating the zoomed-in camera effect. Thankfully, pressing the button again restored the camera to it's original state; we were so glad to not have the same problem again!
 

Having, changed location to a friends house and beginning filming again, we promptly started with the inside scene of Chloe entering through the front door. Although the shots were clear and sufficient,  we noticed that we needed to film this section at a later time; in the editing process the shots combined would display errors in continuity. The outside light shinned through the door window as Chloe walked in , this would contrast to the previous future edited shots of Chloe walking along a street at night. Thankfully we spotted this before we moved on!
 

We then did multiple camera shots, such as aerial shots, low/high angle still shots, close ups and different positioned long shots, all of the character Chloe walking up the stairs! It's better to be overly prepared than under prepared!

Whilst discussing which scenes to film next we noticed that it was looking dark outside the window, we wanted to use this opportunity before continuing inside.
Half way through outside filming it began to rain. Considering the editing, the rain would affect the continuity of the clothes; as the inside shots displayed Chloe's jacket and hair dry.

As we were faced with a decision, we weighed each choice thoroughly;

Using the rain:

• Filming the inside again
• Time consuming - darker outside shots
• Camera could get wet
• Crew more tired - lack of focus on filming

  

Postpone filming:

• Crew gets rest - more focus on filming tomorrow
• Another chance outside
• More done inside while waiting for darkness

Considering these options we decided to postpone the filming until the next day.
