Filming started on: Sunday 17th January 2010
Location: Windmill Hill, Langford
Scene: Opening scene- 1 & 2
Filming took place on Windmill Hill in Churchill at 3.30pm, where we filmed the opening scene and the second scene. Me and Matt arrived at the location fully prepared with water, matches, tripod, dolly and the camera with two fully loaded batteries and a couple of films.
Arriving walking up to the hill, the sun was setting and we felt this would look great in the establishing shot. We only had one problem during this task which happened to be that one of the Li-ION batteries failed so we changed the battery and used a fully charged one for the remainder of the sessiom. After filming a number of establishing shots in different areas of the hill we commenced with filming the first scene that we see the character.
We located a camp fire area which we felt would be the right enviroment to film a scene that inclued the use of matches. Luckly it had rained the previous night sot he soil and ground was wet enough that we could drop the match on the floor, which create a realistic effect.
After filming from different angles, Matt and I filmed the scene from where we meet the character and he is very suspicious.
After using many different techniques to make sure we used the time well, we filmed all of the scenes with out much difficulty.
We did have a slight issue witht the wind that day as it kept blowing out the matches, but finally we were able to get the shot, with out cutting the time sequence down.
Overall the day went really well, it only took roughy an hour to get all the shots and some extra ones incase we want to add them in to fill the time frame up.
