Filming

On the weekend we got together to do our filming for Emily's story, which we chose. It was slow at first, Emily had typed up a whole new thing for every scene which was a bit different and definitely longer. So we sat down and looked over the new story and made comments and planned the places we were going to them and anything we would need so that we were prepared. The first few scenes we a bit awkward we didn't get anything done before lunch except for writing up a script for our first scene, it was important though because that scene contained the largest amount of words. Something we didn't prepare well for and which wasn't included in the new treatment was shots, angles and movements with the actual camera so we had a bit of a problem with bad shots and just took many different ones of the same scene to figure out later. We also had some trouble with another scene which was the only one away from the house in the park, we had to film the beating up scene including fake blood and everything. This one really was hard to contain our excitement because it was such a silly scene but we got it done really well in the end. The major problem for me was the scenes that I was in, it was very very uncomfortable because my scenes had changed a bit and the new things the others wanted me to do definitely did not fit in with the actions of a peacefully dead friend, for example running up and grabbing her, then standing behind her as she watched her family and walking away arm in arm. Not to mention that I didn't plan at all to watch any of the film when I saw a tiny bit of one of the shots I'm in and now whenever I think about it it really makes me feel sick. Hopefully I can just get the editing done and make it look really good and not ever watch the whole thing.
I hope it does turn out well though, because it was so hard for me to do even that.
