1. When shooting the scenes in the room with the cupboard locked in, it was quite difficult to get some good angles with the camera fitting in the cupboard. So it took me a while to get the angle right and get it all in focus, when getting back and looking at all of the footage there wasnt very many of the shots that we like, so we have realised that we need to go back and do all of the scenes there again. I will be preparing the room a bit better for the filming. We also forgot that when he recieves the reply from Kelly we are not supposed to the the psycho's face but in our shots you can and it is clear it is him, so we are going to have to refilm those again. 

 

2. We also were sorting when to reshoot my actors had trouble sorting out a time because they are doing a-levels as well, so i have numerous times tried to sort reshoots, no shooting for nearly 2 weeks due to one of them unavailable, so i have had to film for about 3 hours a week, and thats all they have been available. One week i planned to film and they all said they were available, then when i asked them too meet me in the park to film the kidnapping scene, the the guy playing the boyfriend last minute tells me he doesnt finish until 8 and wouldnt get there until 9. We wanted to begin filming at 6, so we will be going to the 'psychos house' to film the cupboard and shrine scenes instead and film another day that he is free. 

 

3. When we went to the lake scene in banstead, while explaining to the actor what we are doing and during all of the set up the car was being used as one of the main props in this scene. We left it on while we were sorting through things, when we were ready to film went to move the car into position for the film we realised that it had broken down, so we had to cut on production for that day as we had to sort the car out. When we had it all sorted it became apparent that everyone had become aggravated by the situation and were not focused, it was also very late so we called it a day and planned to reschedule.
