post 29 - The disapointment of our footage.

After gaining some knowledge of our location Jenny and I thought it best to start filming as soon as possible, we went to location with our actors (Atia and Carlotta) and started shooting straight away, using our initiative we got as many shots as possible and as many different angels, as last year we learnt it is better too have too much footage than not enough. Leaving our first filming session we felt it went really well and thought we would have the advert in the bag! HOWEVER of course when we imported all of the footage on to the mac it wasn't as good as we had first thought, the lighting wasn't dark enough in the woods so it would be hard to create the sense of anticipation and eeriness which we wanted. We both just took this on a learning curve and discussed our next filming session which we decided may be better off a little bit later in the afternoon and in a denser forest. We opted to try filming in Black Park. We also discussed that a larger variety of angles was needed as this is one of our main marking criteria, from this we decided to include more long shots and some possible jump cuts.
