On the first day of filming on the 12th of March we arrived at our set location at around 10am. This meant that we had a lot of time in the day to film a lot of shots and get everything perfect so that we wouldn’t have to go back a different day and finish of the filming in case we miss anything out that we are not happy with when editing. When we arrived we had the company of another media group from the school filming in the same location but in a different section of th
e house. This didn’t affect our filming as the house was rather big and we couldn’t hear or get involved in the other groups filming. As we started setting up for filming we had another look through the rooms and we decided that we would use a different room to what we had previously chosen because of the time of day had meant that the sun would have been too bright for the type of mood we was trying to create. Also the other room had a door opposite that area we was going to use as the bed which is where we wanted for the character played by Taylor to pass out, which will then mean that we could have the correct set up we was looking for.
As we started our filming we found that everything was going very well. We had plenty of time left and the shots we were making were perfect. We changed a few things now and then, to match with the room and the lighting. We also created a few markings on the wall to make the room seem messed up and to create enigmas.
As we went through about an hours worth of filming we came across a problem when filming. The problem was is that the house that we had chosen to use for our film using isn’t abandoned as such because even though it is empty and ruined it is still owned by someone. This meant that we didn’t have full permission to be there because of the house being cornered off. At the time we did not know that we needed permission to film because of the house not being used and that it has been empty for quite some time. Also a few weeks previously of filming, there had been a small fire which had meant that the police had been a lot more aware that the house was being used for wrong doing. So as we was filming the police arrived and explained to us that although they knew we was there to film for a school project and not going anything wrong, we had to leave because otherwise it would look bad on the police because if they didn’t tell us to go then the neighbours would complain and they also explained that we can’t go back to the house because it is private property.
This was a serious problem for us because we had only had around 30 seconds of film. This meant that we couldn’t use the location anymore so we couldn’t use the film we had recorded because the room would be different when we found a new location.
