Filming

On the day of filming my group and I all went the first house location to film the bedroom scene for our thriller. When we arrived at location we set up the tripod and turned on the camera, whilst making sure that the backdrop was clean and how we invisioned it to be. We each did a shot at a time so everyone did at least 3 shots each. For the most part the filming went smoothly and we were able to film most of the shots successfully in focus with good lighting. However as the filming continued the light began to fade so the lighting in the last few shots weren't exactly the same as the firsts shots and so the shots didn't look very professional. Also we did have some troubles focusing on some of the extreme close up shots, so to resolve this we changed the shot angles so that are thriller had diversity but also look clean and professional. On the second day of filming we filmed the staircase scene which was a little more difficult as it is hard to light a staircase properly. However, the filming went much quicker during this shoot and we got more shots done in a shorter amount of time, showing our efficient time planning. Although, some of the shots did come out looking a bit rushed as they weren't all in focus, and the dull lighting really showed. Another problem in which we need to solve is that we took still shots instead of slow upward pans during the close ups of the object on the stairs. 

What we will do differently when we refilm?
When we refilm we are definately going to make sure that we use a lighting kit during filming so that the backdrop is lit and not dull. This will make sure that the lighting is the same in every shot which at the moment it is not. Also we are going to make sure that the continuity is right because when we watched our original footage back items moved around in the background and some things just didn't make sense. Therfore we need to be aware when filming, if we do it in a different order that everything will add up when we edit it in the correct order.
