Shooting day 4

Day 4 was our most productive day because we had a lot of shots to do. We first looked at our plan and then started filming. During filming we had added more shots because we thought that the shots that we added completed the title sequence and made the whole thing make sense. the filming took us the whole day because we had many obstacles such as the ground was really muddy so we had to go through a different route and we did get lost but found out where we were.

Shooting of day 3

On the third day we wen to the forrest, this was the least productive day because we had to go when the weather was nice. We had told our friends who were in the title sequence to wear party clothes because the film is about a group of boys going to a party. It took us 0 minutes to set up the camera as we had to find the perfect spot where it was not muddy and the ground was level. After we had set the equipment up we went to look at the sheet and started to film. the filming took us a long time because we had many setbacks such as the scenes were too long so we had to keep on retaking the scene, other occasions was there was people waking past the camera so we had to retake again, a couple times we had random people in the car shouting because they were fascinated about us filming. because of these setbacks we had to continue shooting in the next day.

Shooting day 2

Just like day 1, we went to Liam's house to shoot more. we began the day looking at the plan for our shoot, and we chose to continue with the scene with the book because we discussed saying that we will go to the forrest in the third day. Liam went to set up the tripod while billy and I went to get the props, like the book and placed it at the same position as the first day of shooting. When everything was prepared we shot the book because that is where the title of the film appears. then we got pictures of the boys who were going to the park and we then shot our next scene which was Billy was putting the photos in the book and then crossing their eyes and he put the photos on a board.

day two was a productive day because we had to use different effects of the camera to get the perfect shot and the day became more of a learning curve or Liam as he was the cameraman and he learnt some new techniques.

First Day of Shooting

On Monday the 17th the group had met up at Liam's house to start the first day of shooting. We had our plan sheet to see what we were going to film and our first shot was the scene when Billy, our protagonist was opening the book. We did the shot four times because we had either had the focus wrong or that we had objects that should not have been there. after we had shot that scene we looked back at it and we determined that it was good enough to be in the title sequences. The clothing that Billy was wearing was a dark hoodie and the hood was over his head. The reason why we had the hood over his head was because we did not want to see the face of Billy as we wanted the protagonist to be a mystery.
