As ourselves and our actors were unavailable during the holidays, we all decided to film on the second day back at college. We planned to film Character A's (Anni
e Nurse) and Character B's (Jonathan Tang) parts today but we could only film Character B's as Character A was not in the same costume as when we filmed before and we did not want this continuity error appearing in our opening sequence. We then decided to film her parts on a near future date. (Thursday 15th April 2010)
We took our actor, Jonathan, out to the location needed to film his parts; the graveyard, which was again empty so it was perfect for our filming. The weather was also perfect so we wouldn't have any continuity problems there. I filmed the extreme close-up of him saying 'Don't jump' and the static shot of him walking down the pathway. The audio of him saying 'Don't jump' was most important so I filmed it a couple of times over in order to make sure that we got a clearer audio than before. Henna and Trisha helped direct me using the storyboard and a list of the improvements we wanted to make and Henna filmed a close up of him dialling a number on the phone with direction from Trisha. This concluded our re-filming for today.

We ended up filming on this date due to the weather on our chosen date (Thursday 15th April 2010) which was cloudy, grey and barely any sun and we did not want this continuity error. We also postponed the filming due to our actress, Annie, being ill. As this happened we decided on this date where we were all free and it would still give us time to edit and make changes prior to any deadlin
es. We each took turns filming shots like Character A standing on the cliff and the camera looking through the trees to give an illusion of someone watching her, this someone supposedly being Character B. Trisha came up with the idea then to have a twig snap sound and then show Character A looking around and turning back, as Henna was filming, I grabbed a few twigs and snapped them close to the camera, but out of sight, so the sound was recorded clearly. I then filmed a close up of Character A texting 'I love you' to her mum. These were both new shots that we thought could be added in. Then Trisha filmed pan of Character A walking to the phone - this was one that needed improving. We encountered two boys on the cliff when filming this and they were in our shot. We asked them if they could please step aside while we filmed our shot and they did. This could have been aproblem if they didn't but it was easily overcome, and it was only for a few minutes anyway. We then checked we had done everything on our improvement list and ended our re-filming phase.
