During the holidays we tried to film out 2 minute opening film, however his didn't go very we'll as when we were at our destination of a pier our camera died. We got barely any footage and the footage we did get was rubbish. However because of this we now know we have to prepare ourselves a lot better...
Our movie centres around a main female character, played by by Amelia gilbert set on the night of Halloween it consists of her wandering around Norwich late at night with the fear of two people dressed up and following her this also meant that not too much was given away about the film which got people asking questions. the night of Halloween was perfect for the scene we wanted as it meant that the surroundings had a perfect theme and people in the background also blended in. the idea of the opening two minutes was to build tension for the audience and get the audience feeling cathartic toward Amelia in fear for what is going to happen to her in the rest of the film. I feel we hit that target pretty well as it didn't give away anything and meant that people would want to keep watching as they want to know what happens to Amelia. we also were set certain misenscens we had to hit for examples ours were pitch black (which was perfect for Halloween night) and costumes (which was also perfect for Halloween as everyone was dressed up).the only problems we faced whilst filming was the fact that there were so many people around which meant we couldn't get the shots we wanted straight away some of the time so had to keep re doing takes. another problem we faced was the lighting, some of the lighting was too dark we couldn't film in certain areas as it meant we couldn't see Amelia or what the shots had in them.
