Feedback on our filming days

On Thursday the 26th of January, Lauren and I started filming for our film opening. Beth, Neelum, Lauren and I all went back to my house after school and started to film. Our first few shots were outside. We were aware of time as we knew we wouldn't have long before the light would start fading. We used two cameras, one being my dads, which we filmed the majority on. We captured lots of different shots as we wanted more than we would need for just in case. We used a variety of shots, with high angle shots from the bedroom, POV shots, wide and close up shots. Using two cameras worked well as we could film with two different points of views.
We followed our story boards and shot list, so that we wouldn't miss anything off. Despite planning all the number of shots we took longer than we anticipated due to the attention to detail we wanted. Filming in the house was the majority of the opening and in the end we took 3 hours.
I am so pleased with the out come as we capture all the shots we wanted to get and more.

The following Saturday the 28th of January, we filmed the park scene. We planned to have four children as our extras in this scene, but due to extra activities, last minute we found out that they weren't able to make the Saturday. This left us with only my brother to fill in. However, this worked well as he looked creepy and gave a sense of isolation when he was playing on the park appartus.
Filming during lunch hours in a park proved to be difficult as we had children and parents in the way. After some time we managed to get the shots we wanted without members of the public in it.
Overall, I think our filming days were successful and I am pleased with the actors we used as they were perfect for their characters and also were a helpful input to Lauren and I.
