Shoot Day!

Today we filmed all of the different sequences needed within our film, which was quite a lot of pressure as we did not have as much time as we anticipated. This is mainly due to the structre of the school day, as we had to film when everyone was in lessons because we did not want extras or background noise to disrupt our scenes. However once we had set up, we all worked together and filmed some good peices of footage and we all took it in turns to film, set up the mise-en-scene and even to put make-up on me. This had to be done several times as we were using red paint to represent blood therefore we had to keep re-applying it as it kept drying up! Something we didnt expect to be an issue, but we overcame it and tried to make it look as realisitc as possible.

Here are some images of us setting up, filming, applying make-up etc:

Overall, it was a very productive day and we filmed all that we needed to in the short space of time we had. It was quite challening from my perspective as I hadnt done any acting before therefore I did the best I could from watching films doing similar sequences, however I think I managed ok.
