Today we filmed two more scenes for my horror production. We were able to shoot these scenes within 3 hours and without too many issues.
However we did encounter some problems. One problem was as my class mates were out filming their own horror productions there was no one available to help me do sound. This meant I had to set up the camera and hold the boom mic, which made things slightly more difficult. Another problem was that because the tripod wouldn't go higher I had to improvise and change some more of my shots around.

Once we got back from filming we began editing, we managed to edit together 30 seconds so far. Considering all of us have limited skills with the editing software, we feel the progress is going well.
Today I began filming 'Fear Inside' my horror production. The scene that we filmed today is last in the script, however I felt it went well.
We did have some issues when filming, our first issue was that the tripod seemed to locked in a way that we couldn't make it the height that we wanted. This meant we had to do most of the shoulder height shots as handheld shots. Another problem we came across when filming was that the room was smaller than I had originally envisioned, this meant some of the shot types had to change from my original plan. We also had trouble getting the reflection of the figure wearing the clown mask in the glass of water which was one of the shots I wanted in my film. However we tried multiple times but were unable to get the shot. Due to the lack of cast and crew I have had to make substitutes to the script. I no longer can have three characters as I do not have enough cast to play characters, in regards to this I have had to take the character Jo out of the script.
I also have a purchased mask which should arrive on Monday, this will allow me to begin filming on the Wednesday. I planned on filming today however due to lack of crew I wasn't able to. I spent the day planning and organizing with people so that next week I can begin filming. I also went to one of my locations and completed a location recce.
