Filming Update 3

We started off with some ideas to what we were going to do for our third day of filming however when we got to the location , my cabin , we came up with some new ideas which may work a lot better and may add more quality to our opening two minutes. It took a lot longer than usual to set up because we had to move a lot of stuff around to get the correct lighting and needed to make sure that everything was out of the way. However this wasn't such a problem as we weren't filming in the freezing cold and didn't have to worry about the light changing as we were inside and could control it more than usual. Initially we weren't going to show our antagonists face or head in this scene however due to some changes with shot types we did, regrettably this created our first problem because Adam, our antagonist, had a spray on white beard for Christmas but luckily with some alterations we worked round it. As we were all inside we were in a much better mood than usual which meant we were more motivated to get the right shots which lead to us filming the same shot more than usual and being able to rehearse more.Unfortunately when  we went to edit the footage we discovered that we were unable to use any of it because it was so dark.At the time we didn't know of this because it was perfectly light on the camera screen and on our Video Diary camera. This means we are going to have to re-film the scene again soon, next time we will make the room lighter and even take a laptop with us to check on the lighting problem. It’s a real shame because we took a real deal of time and effort to film this scene and especially put a lot of time in making the room look as dark and gloomy as possible to add to the effect of the character.
