Shootind Diary- day (3)

Today was possibly the scariest filming experience I had ever been through. It was worse than a scary ride at a theme park! We had to record the scene with the van going over the camera. I was sat in the van at this point of time, while the driver next to me drove over the camera. It was the most terrifying experience of my life, although I knew we weren’t going over the camera itself, it certainly felt like we were. We had to go over the camera more than twice as the effect we were hoping for wasn’t being achieved and therefore had to keep doing it till we achieved what we wanted to achieve.
We also wanted to shoot a new scene for our opening as we wanted to include a shot of a suitcase with lots of knives inside it. We placed the camera inside of the suitcase and tried many different camera angles so that we could get this right but we were unsuccessful as it didn’t work due to the lack of lighting. Theses shots did not create the mood that we were trying to create and did not help our group in producing the effect that we were hoping for. We will not be using these shots in our final edited version of our opening as it will not be enhancing on the effect that we are trying to produce.
