Filming Locations

We had four different filming locations for our opening. My cellar, Gillingham Park, Rainham School For Girls and a street.
The cellar was cold and damp, and looked as if it hadn't been looked after, it was the perfect setting for someone to be keeping someone captive. The only problem we had with this setting was that it was not very well lit in respect to how it needed to fit our conventional scene. To add additional light we tied a wireless lamp to the ceiling above where the victim was seated. I think the next time I do a project similar to this, I will make sure that I assess all factors of the setting before filming so that it causes less time wasting which will ensure that the filming can be done without having to make changes or repeat the filming sessions.
We used Gillingham Park to do the scenes where Grace (Daisy) was walking the dog. As you can expect there was other people there walking their dogs or just visiting the park. This caused a little trouble for use as the dog featuring in the filming was becoming distracted by the others which disrupted the filming. Also, a couple sat on a bench that was directly in our shot, thankfully, they realised we must have been doing a project for school and carried on with walking their dogs. The only other problem that we found with filming in the park was the wind. However, this was not something that we could control but next time the group films outside, we will check the weather to try and minimalise the poor weather conditions. This problem did not effect the quality of our filming because we could decrease the volume of the audio that accompanies the footage on Final Cut Express.

We also filmed at Rainham School for Girls which was easy to do as that is the school in which we attend. The only problem that accompanied this was that occasionally someone would walk past and distract the member of the group that was acting, however, after a couple of takes we became used to the slight disruptions and was able to stop them from distracting our concentration. The only way this problem could've been resolved would have been to film in a different area of the school, perhaps a free classroom. 

We also filmed outside our school with the lamp post scene as we could easily film and then upload the footage in a lesson.
