As explained before, the second day of filming wasn't completed due to the change in brightness because of the time of day. This meant that we arranged to come back to the same location in the day instead of the afternoon two days after the second day. When looking back at the second day's worth of footage,
we decided that we would carry on filming from from the clip of the character played by Taylor when he drops the pill pot and goes to pick the pills and eat them. This was because this is when we started to notice a large difference in the brightness of the shots. When filming on the third day we noticed that everything seemed to go a lot quicker, this is because we probably had a lot more experience using the camera's and we new the shots we had to film because we had done it the day before.


Throughout the 3 hours of filming we had no real problems except sometimes we had to retake shots more then we would of liked, but this wasn't that much of a problem because we had plenty of battery time and we had a spare tape because we was well prepared. We established that we didn't always need to
have our camera on a tripod because it made the footage look too simple and boring. This meant that we tried a few different methods using the hand held technique to make it seem more realistic, for example when we first of all chose to do a pan where the main character played by Taylor picks up the pill pot, we decided instead of using a pan going up, we would hold the camera and follow the pill pot going up using a close up, we still took the footage of the pan, but when we was editing we found that the hand held technique went really well and suited the style we was going for. Another thing that went well was that we. The only problem from the days worth of filming was that we forgot to do the shot of when Taylor goes from a standing position to a kneeling position to pick up the pills. Before we edited we thought that this was going to be a very big problem, but when it came down to it it was good because it made it seem quicker and more fasted paced. Altogether this day of filming was the best because we completed all of basic filming that we needed meaning we only had to go to our second location of filming in Ongar to film the hanging man which we would use in a flashback on our thriller.
