Bloopers and behind the scenes from filming

This is a short video just showing a few behind the scenes clips and bloopers that happened on the two days of filming.

Filming day one (26/1/13)

Getting to the location: 

-Unfortunately one of our actors (Alana) had to pull out due to a family christening, and we didn't have time to ask around for another so we had to only have three characters.
-I picked up Manhal and Libby and one of the actors (Izzy) and we set out to meet the other actors and make our way to the location. 

-After a lot of traffic we finally got to our destination at Box Hill, unfortunately we were an hour late, meaning we had less time to film, putting us under slight pressure. 

At the location filming: 

-After some trouble getting the fire to start, we finally got it going and began filming. 

-The props were already set up and I had gone to the location early that morning to set it up so that we could begin filming as soon as we got there. 

-We aimed to film the whole thing on the day as we were only using one small location, therefore it was only a case of getting a variety of different shots. However, due to the absence of one characters and the fact the shooting schedule was not quite complete it made deciding on which shots to take in what order slightly difficult. However, we overcame this and shot in a logical order so all one type of shot was taken at the same time. We also had to change a few of the shots as well and adapt the storyboard due to the absence of Alana

-As we were a bit disorganised with shooting, we burnt some of the food which wouldn't have happened if we had planned the day better. Never the less, after eating we continued to shoot and get a range of different shots following the storyboard. 

-After we had eaten filming began to ran more smoothly and we got things done a lot quicker with better precision. 

-Once all the filming was complete, we tided the cabin and headed home.

Adaptions to the storyboard:
-The character of Alana was taken out completely.
-The remaining girls (Emilie and Lucie) try to call an ambulance when they see Izzy outside but fail as there is no signal.
-We couldn't film in the dark because various people had other commitments that evening, also we could not book out the lights so it would have made filming at dark near impossible. 

Post filming: 

-After looking over the footage, we have some great shots and a variety that we can use. However, one aspect of the storyboard was not filmed properly and is key to the sequence, therefore will have to be re-filmed at a later date. However, we do have more than enough footage at the moment to begin editing our sequence together.

Filming day one 19/1/13

Due to poor weather conditions (snow) we were unable to beginning filming today as we were not able to get to our location because we were snowed in! Today instead we will continue planning other aspects of the project and looking into sound and titles.
