We arrived on location and began to scout the area for the best possible section in order to film to final few scenes of our opening. We found appropriate areas in which to run, screen, shout and lay down to allow us to gain the best effect possible for our trailer. Once the other member of the cast arrived, we managed to begin filming. This included running scenes, split scenes and point of view shots. These were made easier by the use of a tripod and an area of flat, dry ground.
The close up, turning shots were more successful than anticipated due to the cooperation of cast members. We were able to film a series of each person in order to have a choice of which shot to chose for our final trailer. The ending shot was slightly difficult as it needed to be filmed in exactly the same way from many different angles. This was hard for Chloe and Abbie as they found it tricky to do exactly the same movements over and over again - in order for our trailer to appear realistic and believable.
The dragging and crawling scenes were slightly difficult to film as the best angle was rather hard to find and keep. For example, when Chloe was crawling across the floor, the camera man needed to be on the floor as well, as crawling backwards whilst keeping the camera very still, in order to make the scene look realistic. In addition to this, the dragging scene was slightly difficult we planned on making it appear as though the character had dropped the camera, when in fact, there was someone else filming. This became slightly tricky in order to match up the actions within one take. We did however, eventually manage to do this.
Finally, we decided to film a few dead shots - where our characters are laying on the ground covered in blood. This was slightly difficult as the blood we had, appeared to be slightly pink or orange depending the lighting that was available therefore, we had to frame the shot in such a way that the audience couldn't see the blood.
