We filmed on Saturday the 21st for the full day as we wanted to have the full day to make sure we got everything done and in case we had any problems filming we would have time to rectify the situation. We arranged to meet at the location for eleven in the morning, and unfortunately one of our actors was delayed for a few hours. While we were waiting for the actor to arrive Sarah and I worked out how we were going to shoot around the house and any more shots that we could use that would be suitable and unique. Our first shots had to be filmed outside and we encountered a problem with the wind as it kept on moving the tripod, so we had to wait for the wind to die down before we could finish filming. Also we had to film the outside scene quickly as the actors were only in little t-shirts, and it was very cold so we had to make sure the actors were warm before we started shooting again in the house. We also then wanted to film a shot in the fridge, and we wanted to make it very effective so we had to take a few shots to get the shot right. We also achieved the different shots were we wanted the actor to be seen in different positions on the bed to show that time is going on, we are hoping the way we tried to portray this if effective when we come to editing. The camera also ran out of battery a few times so we had to keep on charging the camera, but in all I think our filming went very well.
It would be useful to see some examples of footage, particularly those you have commented on. Also, some screengrabs/ photos would help. Most importantly, you need to make sure that you consider how you will deal with some of the problems you identify - will you need to reshoot some footage or re-record some dialogue? How are you going to achieve this? Links to your script and storyboard would help - how close does your work match up?
