Production

We thought of the Lea Valley Pathway, this with ideal because it is as exactly what we was looking for because it was long and looked scary, the first day we filmed we failed to film because we it got dark early and the camera wasn’t able to pick the male character walking down this alley way. We decided that as group we should come back when it is brighter and earlier so we could capture what we wanted; the group came back the next day to film. It was much a brighter and we could see much more, this is what we wanted to have when we was filming, this was easier for us because we could film a lot more and get the shots we wanted to when filming the Male Character walking down here.



It took us 4 days to film, we took longer than most groups because we had to make sure that everything was done to a high-quality standard of filming also because the Director and Producer wanted us to strive to achievement the whole group put in extra effort to get the best possible superiority of filming. In our group we did extra filming, such as we did 3 takes of the same scene and then choose the best possible film clip so it would look improved from the one before, this took a couple of hours in some footage because sometimes we all did not agree in the same footage so we just did the scene again until it look excellent.

My role was the cameraman on set, this role was important as my group was expecting high standards and I did not want to let them down so I did my best to film up to a expert standard level of filming so my director would be happy with the camera shots that I had, and we used the tri-pod so that we could make sure that our shots were not blurry. Furthermore with me being the camera man I had to make sure that I had to be in the correct angles for the camera shots so I could follow the storyboard from the director and producer, this also allowed us to create certain types of lighting such as if the camera was facing down on the character it would create low key lighting which made the character more intimidating and mysterious to the audience.

The negative that I came across while filming was the first day we filmed it was too late so we had to do it another day, because it was too dark and the camera could barely pick up anything and that meant that I had felt like I had let the group down, even though it was not my fault. Although the positives of the film is that we managed to get the shots we wanted through hard work and determination which helped us to achieve better results. Futhermore I came across a difficulty when we had to do a shot and I was unable to film it because the anlge it was in, which meant I had to go futher back and if I did I would be in the bushes. The director and I and to come up with a new plan because it was tight alley way, so we thought that we should just shoot the film from another angle.
