- On our first shoot we made down to the location with the equipment and crew. After setting up the equipment we began our shoot following a storyboard.
- As our plot incorporated two lines of action which would be represented as cross cutting between two locations in the sequence, we decided to film everything of one location in the first shoot.
- As a result the first shoot mainly incorporated the shots of our actor Harry Robinson playing 'Desmond' walking through the woods on his way home before being drawn into the abandoned house.
- The first few shots incorporated the use of a tripod, manual focus and hand-held camera to add variety to the footage. These shots were simple to complete as it required little acting and preparation, however one difficulty was the terrain and tripod adjustments had to be made to suit the uneven ground of the woods.
- After the first simple shots one shot which proved difficult was the incorporation of the slow motion shot of the i-pod drop. Tracking was too difficult when working in slow motion, so instead we used a static shot of the i-pod dropping into the frame in an effective close up.
- From here on in most of the shots were completed swiftly and carried the same cautions of the location whilst filming, although one thing that needed consideration whilst filming the 'Voodoo controlled turns' was the direction and length of the shots, however these could be reviewed and edited for effect.
- The final shot which required many re-takes was the key scene of the 'Sucker punch' style eye close up which in the end we would decided would be easier to do two simple shots and then edit it into visual pairing rather than doing one quick zoom.
- Overall, the filming on this shoot collated roughly a half of the footage we need and we feel a second shoot is needed to finish the two lines of action and possibly capture even more shots to embellish the first shoots footage. On top of this the footage recorded was effective and usable for post-production.
