Filming our production

Yesterday we started to film the opening sequence of our thriller for our final production. First we started off by going to a cemetery in Dulwhich where we were going to film a short piece of footage that we wanted to include in the final production. When we got there the graveyard looked frosty from the cold and we thought it was would be a really good effect in the film so we started to set up the equipment before it all started to melt. However, one we finished setting up the equipment and was ready to film we realised that the camera wasn’t working so we took it upon ourselves to go to Maria’s house to find out what was wrong, when we got there we tried to charge the camera to see if that was the problem and we found out that the camera wasn’t working because it wasn’t charged so we had to charge it which put us behind schedule a little. Once the camera had finished charging we went back to the cemetery to try again but however when we got there and set up the equipment the light was too bright which meant that we couldn't see anything through the camera so we decided to leave that cemetery to go to the one in nunhead but the lighting was the same there as well so we had to make a decision to either film then or wait until the next day, so we decided to just go to Maya’s house to get on with the rest of the filming. When we got to Maya's we charged the camera and started to set up to film the rest, we then had to start putting the makeup on our actors and setting up outside. When we had finished this we went to our location to start filming, during the filming everything was going well but it was taking long as people kept interrupting and getting in the shot when we was filming which meant we had to do it over and over again and we was also trying to get a variety of shots. After filming outside in the woodlands we went back into Maya’s house to film the final scene of her in the bath dead with her attacker standing over her.
Today we went back to the cemetery to fill the scene that we were unable to film yesterday, when we got there we went to the place where we decided we was going to film and started to set up the equipment. Once we had done this we started to fill the scene. We decided to film some extra parts just in case we wanted to add in more things to the shots we had already got. Whilst doing this scene everything went well.
