Start of filming...

In our Friday lesson, the last day of term, we luckily had enough planning and ideas to shoot the start of our title sequence. We went to the teacher conference room as it was the most office-looking room available. We also went to the office staff room where most of the props we needed were supplied to us by teachers, including a kettle, a diary, a stapler and a fountain pen. The shots we decided to shoot in there were the 'doctor's study' shots. These were the first frames we had planned in our storyboards.
It was good to get a head-start and to have some material to work with before we broke up for school.

We then met up during the half term to do the rest of the shooting for our sequence. Despite only meeting up twice, we got 114 different clips and I feel we did really well to get such a wide range of shots and styles.

The first day we met up in the half term, we went to Megan's house to record the indoor shots we had planned that included the girl in our sequence, played by Megan herself. The shots we managed to get, were the pan shot's of 'Maria's' room, Megan's character, and the diary shots. We also managed to get the shots of the female character leaving the house.

On the second day of shooting, we went to Lucy's house to film the remaining indoor shots involving the doctor, and the outside shots as where Lucy lives is quite quiet and secluded. This day of shooting was very successful and we got a lot done. We managed to get the shots of the doctor getting ready to leave and leaving the house done before managing to get the remaining shots from our storyboards recorded in the shot styles and angles we had planned to have featured in our sequence. We got the point-of-view shots done ,the low canted angle shot done and the worm-eye-view shot.

We were very lucky with the weather with the two days we planned to film on as both days were very similar in weather. This allowed our sequence as a whole to look even more realistic and flow without any noticeable changes within the shot. Although we had planned to have shot in the dark, we soon learned due to editing that filming in day-light and then later editing the shots to make them look darker and as if we had shot them at a more dusk time of day, was more effective.
