Eva and I have planned and arranged to film on multiple occasions, but every time are unable due to this unpredictable unpleasant weather.
We had planned to film the afternoon of 24th january, as Eva and I both have free periods but then was unable to due to the awful weather, and also the Saturday of afternoon of the 1st of Feb but we have been unable to film in the rain because not only do our actors not want to stand out in the freezing cold and rain but also that would not look good on camera having wet actors, and this wouldn't fit in with the costumes we have picked and written about, or what we wanted in our trailer, also we need to take into consideration that we are responsible for the camera, therefore if anything was to happen to it we would have to replace it, meaning we would be responsible for water damage.
We had originally had planned to film in upchurch as there is a red telephone box but was unable to as one of the the roads got blocked of as a tree has been blown over. The weather has had a major effect on our filming, meaning that we have had to rethink the whole process of what we want to do.
After a lot of discussion Eva and I decided to re plan our whole idea. We decided to film from inside the car, meaning that the weather wasn't a major problem when filming. We eventually filmed on Friday 7th Feb, where we decided to film driving along country roads, pulling into and out of the country parks. We've also got shots of Dylan in the car park, looking around acting confused and looking fearful.
The weather was still rather gloomy and dull in our shots, but not so much that it was an issue.
We are pleased that we finally have some footage we can edit and begin to use. We still intend to do some more filming during the half term, just so we have plenty of footage to chose from and spend time creating more ideas.
Well done for making some progress with this part of your filming. It is vital that you analyse and evaluate the success of this part of your film.
