Film opening filming

On the morning of halloween, we decided to film our opening. For the first scene of the opening, it starts in the evening when it is slightly dark and then the character wakes up. Unfortunately, one of the members of the cast was working in the evenings so we had another plan. We woke up at 5:30am to get filming before sunrise so that is seemed like the evening. This went well, however I would not do this again because it was too early to wake up and in the opening, the sky may get slightly lighter into what the audience may assume is the night.

In total, the filming took about two hours, an hour and a half in the streets filming, and half an hour
doing the rest of the shots. There had been a last minute change on where the character Johnny was going too. The initial idea was that he would hide in a shop, however the owner of the shop had to change their mind as they had a large delivery coming in early that morning, so the shop would be full. Instead of this, we had an idea that I think is actually better than the shop. To flee from the dangerous hoover, Johnny would dive into a large bin down an alley next to the shop. When in the bin, he would light a lighter to see, and looking him in the face is the evil hoover. I think this ida went very well and I cannot wait to see what it will look like.

While Johnny was running, I wanted to make sure that I made it interesting by getting lots of different camera angles. This included long shots, shots from up high, and even one from within a hedge as if it was the hoover's point of view. I
think that Sam did a very good job of being the character Johnny, he showed lots of fear in some scenes and provided some unexpected humour in others. Frank also did a brilliant job of being Dr Smith and was a good convincing character.

Overall, a good day of filming and I expect that the outcome will be brilliant.
