Filming

We had a few problems..
In typical British style, the weather was painfully cold which stopped us from doing things that were in our script. Instead of gaining firewood to place on the already existing fire, we needed to change the script so that we get fire wood to create a fire. This was because the wood was frozen and wet (not just health and safety reasons!).

However we carried on through the mud to get our shots. As the ground was wet and almost frozen we was unable to put up a tent and because we had minimal set our bottoms had to be sacrificed and we went home covered in  mud. It took us roughly 20 minutes to film each clip/ section.

We also had some camera angle problems. Our clips for the 180 degree rule do not work. As we filmed it we managed to go over the line which disorientates the audience.

Filming outside was a fun experience, however standing on frozen grass for more than 2 hours was not. For our final piece it is possible that we will use a location inside or hope that it is warmer! Furthermore, as it is during winter it gets dark very easily. By 5 o'clock it was nearly pitch black even though we turned up at 4:30 and the sky looked like this...

This meant that we had to find a light source as the camera could not pick up the characters. We resulted in using our mobile phones and hoped that it looked good.
