Our second day of Filming commenced on the afternoon of Wednesday 22nd November at our chosen location which was a farm. The weather was crucial for the filming and unfortunately it was the weather we didn't want. It was extremely windy and overcast. As we needed footage, we were obliged to film, altering our storyboard as a sacrifice. We got to the location and knew that we were going to change the storyboard. This made us behind schedule and as we had limited visibility due to filming in winter, we were very tight for time. However, we got the new idea fairly fast and went from there, our friend who owns the farm was very accepting of his time and land and allowed us to film for however long we needed. Our actor was quite hard to work with as he would laugh in shots and this made re filming parts a common practice. Me and Tom both operated the camera as we both had our own visions for angles and movements, this allowed us to leave with several shots meaning editing will be easier. The one major problem was down the the wind and fact we were using a pyro. We had never used one before filming so it was all new to us, we thought that the pyro was going to last only several seconds and therefore we only got one shot with the pyro. I believe that this is worth re shooting as the potential for different angles is huge. The pyro lasted at lease one minuet, if we re shoot, we would be able to capture more engaging footage. Due to the wind, the pyro didn't really have full effect as it was just blowing everywhere. We borrowed a camera from a good friend, the camera quality was far better than using a phone and therefore made the production look far more professional. Overall it was a good day filming, however i expect us to go and re film major parts again to use certain equipment to its full potential.
