Filming 7th of February

We had another go at filming on the weekend this time we decided to film the conversation part again. The reason we wanted to film this part again was because the sound was very quiet and we needed more ideas for types of shots. When we reached our location we wasted 10 minutes trying to find the best place to film and then trying to find the hole in the camera for the microphone, another problem we soon would find is that the microphone was not long enough and we needed the pole to stick it on which we did not have, my sister had to help and try to stretch it out as far as she could to where the sound was coming from. Eventually we managed to get sorted and started filming, we re-done the end of the chase just before the conversation and then we got stuck and could not think of any ideas of shots and what the conversation could be. Simon decided that our script was rubbish and that we needed to think of a new one. After thinking of a new script and afew tantrums we decided to just film something and see what it came out like, I ended up finding myself being made to go through lots of thorn bushes to get more imaginative shots. We only had about 20 seconds of footage and we had been at the location for around 2 hours. As it was so cold we decided that was enough for today and went home.
We then discussed what we needed to improve for next time, the first thing that came to mind was preparation. When we start filming next we will need to be more prepared for what needs to be done. Other this week we will need to think about a new script and how we can make it sound better but get Simon telling Lewis that his wife is going to die.
Over half term we will not be able to do any filming as Lewis and Simon are away the whole week and I can't do it by myself. Before half term we will have to have another go at filming maybe the train scene and get that out the way and then we will also need to carry on editing what we have as we are running out of time.
