We planned to arrive at 10am, as we had only scheduled to film during the morning, as some of us had prior engagements in the afternoon. David turned up late due to oversleeping and then cycling to my house, so Amy, Charley and I decided to use the time we had and film the shots which David was not required to be in.
Unfortunately, when David did turn up, he had forgotten some of the essential props including the hearing aid and also the balaclava, which limited the shots that we were able to film. The weather was much better today, although it was still cold which had a huge impact on me as my character was wearing a short sleeved t-shirt.
We then got on with the filming, getting all the relevant shots that we needed and then experimenting with different angles, which was assisted by the vast forest by my house. The ground was very muddy on this day, and when we tried to do extreme close ups of the shoes at ground level, as we were unable to put the camera on the floor, we had to hold it, reducing the steadiness of the shots. As the tripod doesn't go that low, we were having to do hand held shots for some of the low shots, which again affected how steady the shots are, but hopefully these can be fixed during the editing stage.
Overall, the morning filming was very productive, even though there were a few dilemmas, but hopefully they won't affect our footage too much. Also, our idea was to have me running and listening to our song, but as we hadn't yet recorded this, I was unable to have the song to listen to whilst running, meaning that the pace of the running may not fit the song.
