How we filmed

The right choice of camera for our project was very important as this would allow us to gain the shots that we want for our opening sequence. So for this we chose the Cannon HD camera, as this HD camera allowed us to shoot in high definition to get the best shots for the film and allowed us to choose from various settings such as turning the brightness that we filmed in down to help us add effect to our film as it was a bright day it would not have looked apporiate for the type of opening sequence we are going for.

First Day of Shooting:

On the first day of shooting Jack and myself went looking for approiate places to which we could set our opening sequence and found an apporiate location not  far from school which allowed us to film there with ease and would help to add a mysterious feel to the film as it was quite deserted. This allowed us to start filming some setting footage which would help to set the scene of where the film was set and would help to explain the story which was going with it.

We filmed parts of the old house which the film is set around though we did find problems with the camera as it had a small zoom setting which didnt allow us to film the shot that we wanted and caused me to do a different closer zoom shot of the back of the house. We then moved to the large steel gate next to the house which helped to show the old feel of the house and set the scene of the isolation of where it is.

Next I went and filmed the field behind the house as it again helped to show the isolation of the house and set the scene yet again. For this shot we needed to use the tripod as we wanted to get some of the bricks and metal that had been dumped near the house to add a effect to the shot and it was also a windy day which meant that camera was moving instead of being a smooth shot.
