cancelled shooting

Our group planned to shoot some more on the 5th but due to a number of difficulties, the main being that our actor had no transport to the location, we had to rearrange the shoot for sunday. Then after thinking we realised that trains don't stop at iver station (our location) on sundays so once again we had to change to shoot to tuesday. If all goes successfully then that will be our final shoot and we will have four days to edit it all together, the title sequence, wills scene and matts scene. I expect when it is all together it will last alot more than 3mins which is good because we can then edit it more and cut out the worse/unneeded shots.

Filming session 26/02

This afternoon, we filmed will -one of our actors- inside our location choice. Instead of shooting as many different scenes as we could, we decided to specialise in certain areas of the shot. 
For example: shooting will from a POV shot instead of just a MS or LS 

We used our creativity and initiative to try and evolve our narrative so that it made more sense. 

In past filming sessions we found we tended to drift away from our storyboard shots and started improvising too much. Also we wouldn't shoot the same shit enough times, this ment there was less chance of getting the perfect shot. We were much stricter this time and it paid off well. Our footage was very good and we are currently editing it.
