Filming the Thriller for our Preliminary Task

On the day of filming we decided the location to which we was going to film our smaller thriller clip. We was given a short amount of time in which we had to finish all of our filming as we had to meet all deadlines. However we ran out of time towards the end of the filming time due to finding a location being very difficult as a lot of rooms were in use. Also the battery life on the camera became very low when it cam to filing the last few clips therefore they were very rushed and not as good as we could have made them as we didn't have time to film each section more than once. Due to the short amount of time we are given to complete the preliminary task we didn't want to re film any parts of our film as it would mean missing key editing time which was just as important and it would also mean we would be behind everyone else.

    Me and my group worked very well together as we all took on roles to help make the filming quicker. Izzy and Sam both decided to be a part of the film and I was happy with doing all the filming. However even though as a group we decided it would be me doing the filming we all had a chance to film and get used to using a camera. We worked well deciding on the dialogue, camera angles, location and making sure equipment being used was used responsibly so no one got hurt.

     Because my group had worked very well together and all agreed on everything including the full planning of the film and what was going to happen in our thriller the helped to speed up the whole process making it a lot more fun and enjoyable. As we had a clear idea of what we was going to film it avoided any time within filming being spent on conflict about decisions. Even though we had planned everything when it came to the actual filming we made slight changes to certain things like the dialogue. Also we had planned to use a pretend gun but couldn't seem to get one for the day so ended up using a knife. Some of the camera angles we had decided on when planning were also slightly changed as when filming we all agreed certain angles looked better and were more appropriate.  

    In conclusion our filming went better than we expected and we were able to film each scene more than once apart from the ending due to the camera however this helped when it came to editing as we had more than one clip to choose from for each scene so was able to pick the best footage. This helped to make less work for us when editing.
