Construction:Filming and re-filming

The first time we filmed was in the February school half term. On the day, we filmed at Lucy's house in the corner of a dark room, as we only had a couple of hours to film it was very rushed and we forgot to adjust the lighting settings on the camera. As a result of this our filming was extremely dark and as we had a candle it kept changing the colour of the lighting as the flame flickered. Not only was the lighting a problem but we had a small variation of camera angles and shots which made the filming we had look extremely weak and we found it hard to make a rough edit.

We then decided to change the location to Jemma's house filming in the same sort of setting and making sure we had changed the settings on our camera so it would pick up all the image. However both cameras weren't picking anything up and it was darker than the first time we filmed and we didn't get anything we could use for our opening filmed at all that day.

As we were having such difficulty with the lighting we decided to change our opening slightly because we where finding the set up process too long. we also changed our lighting by filming everything using the natural daylight and change the lighting when editing as it is much easier and we won't need to keep filming like we have done in the past.

Our first location was at Jemma's house again, with a teenager doing their school work in a stereotypical girls bedroom. We filmed as many different camera shots and angles so we had a variation and found it easier when editing. Our second location was in the local woods with the devil worshipper aunt possessing the victim, it took us a while to find a suitable location and really show the audience when it was set. We also found that the woods was a more suitable location for our scene with the aunt in as it was natural daylight and we didn't have any issues with the cameras and instead we could focus on our camera shots and angles.

overall apart from our issues with lighting I think our filming and re-filming was proficient and after having problems with the first time we filmed it really made us think about the set up and direction we wanted for our opening.
