Behind the Scenes-Day 1

                    

On our first day of filming we aimed to shoot the entire first scene of our horror film opening, due to complications when filming we were only able to shoot half of our those shots as we had weather issues; at the start of the day we had ideal weather, while the fog caused the actors discomfort it added to the atmospheric setting we wanted for our establishing shots.

Later that afternoon we had pack up our equipment and go to shelter as there was heavy rain and thunder, so we deemed the conditions unsafe and that it would be impossible to successfully film in anyway.

Despite our issues with the weather we did succeed in shooting decent footage, where the lighting was atmospheric and successfully builds tension and suspense. We are satisfied with shots that we did get and while we still need to shoot the rest of these shots, we don't think we will need to refilm some of the shots we have done.

Thankfully we had very few issues with equipment or our actors on the day, everyone came with the correct equipment, props, costume and makeup and our actors acted responsibly and continued acting with little complaint, which we are very grateful for.
