Shooting Schedule

As there was two of us in a group and then we needed to find actors that were friends of ours the hardest task to overcome was time management.

Firstly me and Amy went to the local woods for a day and took many images of the scenery to get ideas for where we could film. We got pictures of the trees and fields to then take back to class with us and decide when to film and exactly where.
I used the images we took as the background of one of the CD covers because it had a good haunting effect that matched the sound of the song.

Time management affected us again and about two weeks later I was able to film in a different local woods choosing that one instead because of the rivers and bridges throughout. I with two friends went and filmed for the whole day altogether getting about 10 minutes of filming, although it does not seem a lot we got many different shots.
I filmed my friend walking across bridges, throwing paper she had written on into the river, words written on paper floating on the water, two friends arguing but then later having a civil conversation, scenery shots, running through the woods and walking through the tunnels. Each time I filmed a shot i would watch it back to make sure it looked good and sometimes we had two or three of the same things so that when I edited it I could pick the best one.
Some of it was hard to film because of people were walking through the woods so we had to keep stopping and starting and making sure they were not in the shots however this obstacle was easy to overcome.
