First day of production

Our first day of production was well planned and we believed it would be a success, we found a practical location for filming all outside shots in a field near Charlotte's house. The field we filmed in was more like a cabbage patch field with only a tiny amount of grass which we could use to film so that made it quite restricting. During filming we tried to use as many different angles and heights as we could that would look right in our genre of film. During this shooting, we decided to use medium shots, long shots which would show the location and shot reverse shot which we later did not include in our final editing of 'Before I die'. We also Captured a few running shots which proved to be unsuccessful because of uneven ground. We tried to use a skateboard to pull along the camera and tripod hoping this would prove a success when filming the running sections, we were going to include the running sections because the character 'Rose' was flying a kite which happened to be one of the things to do on her list. After a short time of filming, it started to get dark which we became oblivious to. Although it was not actually too dark outside the camera seemed to show more darkness than light and we realised it looked silly because the shots went from light to dark. We later looked over these shots we realised they were just to dark to use and didn't look right. We decided to edit the filming we had then if needed we would go back and do some more filming. During filming we considered many techniques such as pan and zooming in, hoping that this would create a more dramatic effect to the audience.
