Final Film

Filming day 4

On filming day four we were filming at the third location, this was inside the house. Inside the house we were planning to film the 'victim' being drugged and falling asleep. This didn't go to plan as we found ourselves running out of time, and some of the angles we wanted to get was difficult to achieve in some spaces in the house. 
However we still managed to get some good artistic footage such as close ups, that was successfully used in the opening title sequence.

Filming Day 3

On filming day three, we filmed the pub with two of the three actors. We spent a lot of time in the pub filming from different angles, but because of how dark it is inside we were unable to get all the footage we wanted. Although the lighting was difficult to get right,because of a large window directly in front of both actors we managed to get some successful shots that made the actors look silhouette like, and they can be used in the title sequence. 


To improve next time we should bring lighting with us to all the locations to make sure there aren't any problems with the scenes being too dark.

Filming Day 2

One of our actors was ill today, and unable to make it to filming, so we decided to get more artistic shots and cutaways to make sure we could make the most of the time we were given to film. During this time we were able to get permission from a local pub so we could film there the following day and create the right mise en scene for the bar/pub scene my group had planned.

Filming Day 1

The first day we filmed was very successful, we were able to film at an outside location of me walking along the road with the camera following. We were also able to get some 'arty' footage which we could later edit to improve our opening title sequence . Although the footage was clear and turned out well, if we explored other areas and filmed there, i think this part of the sequence would have been even more successful.
the location itself fit what we were going for in our opening title sequence, the dim, dark looking houses and wet roads worked well for our horror and created the right mise en scene
