Filming - Day 1 - How did it go? (Jack)

First set of Filming - DONE

Sunday was very successful, we completed every shot originally planned, while also filming many more really good shots that we thought of on the day. The weather was excellent, really sunny and clear, however it did get a bit cold towards the end!

Some of the new shots looked really great - there is one where our character is digesting the pills, and, although you don't see her, you see her reflection of her in the bedside mirror. This makes it quite disturbing for the audience, while also framing our character making her look isolated and vulnerable.

There is another shot where our character is looking around the forest, from a POV angle. The shot then switches to a high angle shot of the character looking around the forest - This shot was really good because it makes it feel much more personal, when we can see things from our character's perspective.

GOOD POINTS:

• Lots of shots filmed
• Lots of different locations
• Lots of new shots thought of
• Camera worked really well outside, very HD
• Few technical problems
• Everybody took part in filming
• Dress looked really good

BAD POINTS:

• Camera inside looked incredibly grainy
• 'Shadow' shot (Amy walks past the wall, you can see her shadow) didn't work - shadow not visible
• Definition looked very blurry inside. Some close ups were appallingly blurry
• Lighting did not have required effect - did not look natural, looked like normal day
• White Balance was difficult to manage
• Very cold outside!
