Production Log: 26 Feb 2011 - First Day of Filming

Today was the first day we had planned to film footage for our main task; a teen thriller set in Richmond Park. We chose this location due to it being so spacious and open, plus it has a forest and also hills so we can vary the mise-en-scene. Unfortunately, we didn't manage to capture any usable footage today due to the rainy and windy weather conditions which made it extremely difficult to film in and hard for our actors to perform to their best. Also, the fact that there were dark rainclouds up above us made the lighting really poor and we tried using torches but it didn't appear to look like natural daylight, which was necessary for us to shoot a clear shot. The footage we shot didn't meet our expectations at all and we agreed as a group that we would much rather film everything again on a different day next week to a high standard and ensure that all our original actors can make it, as we had to find replacements for today's shoot. Despite all of these problems, we are determined to capture footage that meet our expectations and then begin editing as soon as possible.
