Problems with filming

Yasmin and I wanted to get some location shots while it was dark so we would be able to see what our film would look like without any artificial lighting. However after looking at the pictures we decided that it wasn't an  option as objects, people, expressions weren't visible in the dark. 
We began to think of how we could change the lighting, location or plot to make the filming a better quality. We decided that we would change our location to a field in Kingsdown, Deal. The field has a barn in which we could use as a source of artificial light we also wanted to use it in the story as the place the killer owns. Because  we changed the story so the barn belonged to the killer we were able to make the story more surreal as we could add in more objects which you wouldn't usually find. We also found that changing location meant we had less restrictions, Yasmin's father owns the field so it was easy for us to get permission for an open fire, we are able to access it at any time and it also meant we could change anything in the field that we wanted. Because of the changes made we are going to be changing the script and making another storyboard.   We feel that changing the location will let us explore a more surreal element to the film.

Here a few shots of the original location which we took at the time we were wanting to film:









We feel if we carried on with the same location the film wouldn't be as effective.  We took pictures with the flash off and on so we could see the difference. We played on the idea of having the flash on throughout the film however it wasn't viable as we wouldn't have a source of electricity to charge the camera.

Below are shots of our new location. We feel it works well as the barn gives light to the field, it also meant we can film in the tent in the barn so that the audience think they are outside but  are actually inside. We could use the lighting from the barn to light the characters faces.
