Film shoot 2 : how did it go?

In my second film shoot I filmed The shots to create a jump in the Anderson shelter. I shot some POV shots to look like the character is walking into the room, then standing in the room. The character then see's the note on the far wall, and suddenly turn arounds to see Sledner (when shots are edited together). I then filmed a few panning shots to make it look like the character is turning around, and then a few close up of slender.

What went well

- Costume - the costume that Nick Wilson (playing Slender) wore was exactly the same as in the previous shots of him from film shoot 1 - this is beneficial as it will show continuity and seem more realistic. I also managed to paint the face paint on him the same as before, and used a picture taken from film shoot 1 to do this. This also helps continuity. 
- Filming equipment - I used a large adjustable tripod to film the shots. This was very useful as I was able to adjust the height at which I filmed, and to what angle I needed the shots. For example, I filmed some lower angle shots of Slender and some wide angle shots of the Anderson Shelter. This has led to more professional looking and stable shots, and also meant that I was able to hold the torch for lighting whilst filming.

- Lighting - Like in film shoot 1, I used torches for lighting to give the effect that the character is exploring the place them self  I used 3 torches and when I was not filming shots of Sledner, Nick helped me hold the torches to give the effect that the person in the room is looking all around and is scared (by unstable/shakey lighting).

- Quality of the shots - Because the lighting was good, the quality of the shots looks much better than in film shoot 1, and this makes the shots look more professional and visually appealing. It also means that when it comes to editing, these shots will be easier to edit if they are clearer. 

What didn't go so well

Because I filmed these shots in the afternoon and didn't realise how long it would take to set up everything, it became too dark outside to shoot the shots of the Anderson Shelter exterior and the shots of walking down into the shelter. This shouldn't be a problem though as Mr Taylor said that I can film these shots whenever I need to, and I will not require any actors when I do so.
