CAMERA ACTION

7th January, 2011 I, Courtney Cox and Sean Simmons have been filming a few scenes which Sean Simmons, Danny, is included in. The scenes that we have filmed were 4,6,8,10,12,14,17,19,21,22,23,24,25.

As we have filmed the scenes 4,6,8,10,12 and14 it started to get dark. This we thought would have been an issue for our outside filming. However, as we were in the process of filming scenes17,19,21,22,23,24 and 25 we did not struggle as much as the street lights were on. Also, the fact of it being dark was even better to show the genre of thriller. As we were filming the point of view from Danny, Sean Simmons, the car lights behind and in front of Leila, Paula Pleckauskaite, have hidden her face but we were still able to see that the person walking towards Danny was a female. This effect did not please us while filming, but as we have filmed with this problem we have found it to be rather interesting as the light had made the girl look like a bright star which may mean that she is the good character from the film. Also the identity hidden by the light gives of a mysterious effect.

The darkness problem was a huge problem towards one of our scenes which could not be filmed as wanted. This was because scene 21 was supposed to be filmed on a field, this filming was impossible as it was too dark and therefore we had to change the location. This location was near a road and it had worked rather well, this is because the trees and the lighting have given it a dark, dull and a mysterious effect towards Danny.

Another issue was, that it was cold and wet outside, this did not let us take our time with the filming as much as we could have, as it was hard to focus. However, even though we had problems while filming all of the scenes have came out the way we wanted them to come out, which had made us very pleased.

 Some scenes were filmed twice just incase one of them went wrong, this was a good move as we have a choice of what to choose instead of sticking to one which may be a bad shot/scene. We have went along with our story board but some of the timing may be a bit different by 1 or 2 seconds. Overall the filming went successfully and we had fun while filming.
