Filming Journal (Director Georgia Harris)

Our filming eventually took place on the 09/03/2010 as planned.

Cast and Group members present: At the time of filming there was myself, Elizabeth and Audrey the group members and the only cast at the time was the lady playing the Antagonist Jo.
We

Location: We began the filming inside of B block, along the corridors. We then moved to outside of the college, located in the staff car park.

What we filmed? We managed to film our whole 2 minute trailer sequence, correcting certain scenes that weren't right. So we filmed the scenes where the protagonist and antagonist first met, right up until the twist in the narrative and the ending.

Problems: During the evening of filming we encountered quite a few problems, like one of our main cast members wasn't available to film on our set date, so we had to change our cast members and instead i had to feature in the film, these cause a delay in the filming and also caused us the problem of having to change our cast photo's and the other information we had put on the blog based on the original cast member.
We eventually solved this problem by having to improvise and actually have a member of our group be a main character in the film.

From a director's point of view i found our evening of filming a bit hectic at first due to the change of actor and the slight change in the synopsis of the film too. Once we were all clear of what and how things were going to happen it made me a lot more focus and aware of what the filming would involve and what every one's roles were.
Overall i felt that our filming went really, and that we got a lot done in the short amount of time we had, i also felt that us as a group cooperated well, in providing help and direction to one another and by doing this we were able to keep on track with the time limit. Throughout the filming i think that we overcome our problems quickly and used our initiative's well due to the complete turn around in our synopsis and the cast members.
