On the 13th of November, we filmed the Point-of-View sequence required for the film. Myself, Fraser, Clarice and our two actors - Missy and Jimmy, met at the bus station to catch the 8:55am bus to Killamarsh. We arrived at 9:25am.
We initially met Clarice's dog as we plan to use him throughout the film and needed to familiarise ourselves with him. Using the shot list I had printed off, we filmed each of the shots in a particular order. This meant that we used our time wisely through filming all similar shots at the same time. Being organised is important to me as the last thing I wanted was a fed up crew and especially fed up actors.
The actors worked well together and we did not seem to have any problems with them. The dog - Ben, was also very well behaved and easy to work with.
A problem that we had towards the end of filming was that despite having two batteries for the camera, that appeared to have enough power (as stated on the camera), they stopped working. I am unsure as to whether this was a problem with the camera or not but it did affect the amount of time we had to film. Because of this we had to continually turn the camera off and on for it to work for around a minute at a time in order to shoot the last bit of footage we needed.
The series of shots that we shot were influenced by the 'Vertigo' scene we were shown in the workshop. However, I do think that we needed more shots from Missy's POV and we plan to get these at a later date.
As for roles, we each took it in turn to use the camera and I feel that we all gave input on interesting shots that could be included in addition to those on the shot list.
To conclude, I think that the shoot went well. We worked well as a group and managed to get pretty much all of the footage we needed. I'm looking forward to the rest of the shoots.
