Film locations/shooting schedule

Last week, our group decided on the shooting schedule we think would be best to follow. The days were decided for Sunday 12th and Sunday 19th January in the early morning. Yesterday, our group and Charlotte ( the actor who portrays the protagonist) met and we spent several hours filming at least the first half of the scenes. This included experimenting with different angles and settings within the Norwich marshes, our location, as well as each member contributing considerate, alternative ideas.

As a contrast against the crackling, icy frost, it was found that the bright sunlight which lasted throughout our filming time created an effective, realistic contrast. Also, we were able to follow Charlotte with the camera as she crossed bridges, tracks and underneath looming trees easily, due to the generous space quantity consisting of open fields and frozen ponds. Lars even managed to capture a convincing high angle from climbing ( successfully) up one of the trees. I feel that the light was a  convenient asset during the close up shot of Charlotte just at the moment she realizes the image ( the murder concluding) she has just witnessed, and furthermore, our last scene of the day appeared  professional within its lighting. We are planning to meet slightly earlier next time in order to film during the morning again, and in hopes to catch the frost in time for a similar dewy atmosphere.

  1. A useful account of your filming though once your footage was checked there were not enough close ups.
