Production Entry: Filming Day Two

• Yesterday we carried on filming short pieces of the film which we may use to help the audience establish the location and gain an idea of what the film is about including the genre. We went to the abandoned cat litter factory in Redhill. We were able to film a long corridor, a large metal door with a lock on where we filmed the male character walking through with a lantern. This was our most successful shot which we will use in the opening sequence. 

• This was a successful day as we were able to explore the area we will film in and fully grasp the parts that would make the film original and look scary as well as realistic. We will definitely film the rest of our sequence here as it looked authentic, however there were some limitations within our filming on this day. 

• As we could only film on this day in the evening, it meant our filming was weak. This is because it was so dark you were unable to fully see what the place looked like and also sometimes even the character and the action. Because of this, we will film here again during the day when there is enough light so you can clearly see what is going on and where it is set.  This is just one shot where you are unable to see any of the setting due to the bad lighting:

• Another thing we need to improve on is our organisation with the characters. At the moment we have only been able to film with George (the father) without Lucy (Katie) present. Having them there at the same time will make it a lot easier to film as it would make the film look realistic. For example if we wanted George to look at Lucy sitting down somewhere, it would look a lot more real if he was actually looking at the figure and not just adding it in later. Also if we wanted to experiment with other shots where they were both in the frame, we could easily do this instead of having to organise yet another day to film.
