Skills Audit:Filming

On the 5th March we shot our first set of shots in Hollow Pond. As our child actor was unavailable we decided to shoot all of the scenes that she wasn't in so that we didn't waste any time. We shot a variety of shots including our establishing shot, floor shots and close ups.

Our Mise en scene included the forest itself and cans of beer to add to the fact that we were tipsy.

We decided to use the idea of alcohol because it would get the audience thinking whether or not what is being shown is real or not. This would add suspense and would make the audience want to carry on watching out film to see what happens next.

Fortunately, the natural lighting in the forest was bright and so we didn't need to use artificial lighting.

On the 12th March we decided not to film, but instead watch our footage so far so that we could analyse it and discuss what we could do to make it better.
