Production Log: 2nd March 2011 - Final Day of Filming

We returned to Richmond Park today in order to re-shoot our footage for our opening thriller sequence. This time we were much better prepared and organised, considering that we re-drafted the script and drew up a final version of our storyboard. Also, the weather was far more pleasant than last Saturday since it was sunny and dry which meant we could all perform under these conditions. We began filming at 4pm and the lighting was really golden which added to the illusion that our sequence was set at dawn and we were hoping to convey this to our audience. Furthermore, we discovered a different part of Richmond Park that seemed to be more ideal to shoot in as it evoked an eerie, mysterious and isolated atmosphere which would define our film as one from the thriller genre. However, we encountered some problems such as, we should have shot even more footage than we needed because this would make the editing process easier and we should have worked faster, as the sun began to set towards the end of our footage and this altered the lighting. As a group, we have definitely learnt from this and using iMovie we hope we can enhance the brightness and contrast of a couple of shots towards the end to maintain the continuity of our sequence.
