Filming

We began filming by shooting the second scene as this was in a different location to the rest of the film. This made the continuity better during the rest of the filming as it meant we didn't have to move the camera between shots 1 and 3. Ashufta filmed most of the clip whilst Rory and I were in the film, however we both had a go at filming and I was the main 'director'. I set up the camera for each shot and helped with how to film each shot as I had experience with the camera we used due to owning the same camera (The Nikon D3100).

The first shot was filmed by me so I could have a go at filming. The first attempt wasn't the best due to camera not auto-focusing when we zoomed in. To overcome this I focused manually during the shot. We tried this a few other times and although the outcome wasn't perfect, it shows us what we need to practise before filming our thriller.
After filming this we moved location and the rest of the filming went without a hitch, meaning we changed very little when it came to the storyboard we did. We did miss out one scene of using a CCTV camera to film the addict walking into the room. This was due to lack of time but is something we are going to practise before implementing it into our final thriller.

The last scene was filed by myself in a handheld camera style. We had to do this shot several times to make it work correctly for a variety of reasons. However, once shot to our satisfaction, it was the best shot in our prelim task.
The things we decided we needed to practice more were lighting and dialogue as I feel we could have improved on our lighting to add to the verisimilitude. The dialogue wasn't very clear during this task so we would need to look into the possibility of using a microphone during our final filming.
