When we arrived at the chosen location, we walked around a little in order to find the best positioning to start our filming. I checked the camera battery to make sure we had enough battery to record our whole sequence whilst Hannah set up the tripod. As myself and Hannah planned every shot before hand, it helped us vastly making our filming quicker and more effiecent. We was able to position and prepare for each shot fast as we new exactly what shots we were going to do. After recording every shot, we watched our recordings twice, to ensure they were to the standard we require, if they wasnt, we would re-record to ensure they are. Throughout the filming process, Hannah and I took it in turns to film each shot. While on of us was filming the other was positioning the actors and ensuring the shots followed the rule of continuity. After we completed recording our main narrative, we recored different shots of the trees, which we plan to jump cut in with our main narrative.
However, while we were filming we noticed that the bag filling wasn't heavy enough, so it didn't look the way we had envisioned it, as we only filled it with stuffed toys it didn't give look like a dead body, which was our aim. When filming some shots we didn't use the tripod as they were tracking shots, as a result of this our shots are slightly shaky making them look less professional and to an amateur standard. I would like to re-film our opening shot of the trees to improve the quality of our opening sequence. Also we planned to take a birdseye view shot of the trees, this idea was not thought through properly as there was no way we could pursue this idea easily. If I was to film the whole opening sequence again I would change the outfit of the male character to have him wear either a mask or hat to obscure his identity and add mystery and suspense to the thriller.
