LLM: Reflection of shoot 1

When and where was the shoot?

• The first shoot took place on the 23rd of December 2015.
• It was filmed around 3pm to 530pm.
• filmed at my house is Sevenoaks, Riverhead.

What Scenes were you focusing on?

• The main theme we were focusing on was the opening scene.
• We aimed to film the protagonist walking home, whilst being silently followed.
• We also aimed to film a short sequence were the antagonist makes an appearance to gather an idea of how effective our ideas are for his characteristics.

What was your individual contribution to the shoot?

• I was the actor for the shoot.
• I also participated in some filing of the antagonist shoots.
• I also helped out with providing ideas for what camera angles we should use for each shoot.

To what extent did the storyboard affect your use of camera and framing?

• At the beginning of the shoot, we followed our storyboard.
• As time went on, we began to think up better use of camera techniques to use.
• We found this useful as it gave our group a range of shots which we could choose from when editing our shots.

What do you think work particularly well?

• In this shoot, the walk home I was particularly pleased with, even though we have decided that we are going to re-film, to included different angles and include the tracking shot for a more effective shoot.

What were the challenges of this particular shoot?

• What I found challenging was using the school cameras whilst filming in the dark.
• The figure filmed was not picked out correctly and it didn't create the scary atmosphere that we wanted.
