In general, the shoot day went according to plan. We were finished in time, we got all the shots we wanted and all our actors performed as we had hoped. There were obviously aspects of the day which we had not been able to anticipate beforehand – most of these were to do with the location as we had only pictures and word of mouth to go by. The photographs Courtney had taken were accurate and therefore we did not encounter any real problems. The only slight problem was the problem of condensation on the glass however we managed to incorporate this into our film sequence as it made the vision of the stalker less clear and therefore much creepier.
In some ways, the shoot day went much better than I had thought. We hadn’t even thought of using slow motion until we were actually on location, and we were all really impressed with the results. The tracking shot was also really impressive and (although it took a few takes) we got the perfect shot in the end.
Overall I am really pleased with how it all went. Our group worked well together, with everyone getting a go at all the different skills we had learnt in our lessons, and at the end of the day, we all felt as if our hard work had paid off.
