Filming

On thursday the 19th and friday the 20th Amy Horsley, Rob Kenny,Becci Taylor and me started filming our film opening of our film called "Ha Ha Your Dead". We decided to film at my house for our film opening, we did our film at night because we thought that it would add to the scary effect, all of the group stayed round my house that night due to us filming until 1am the next morning. That friday we did a bit more filming because we weren't very pleased with all of our shots which in the end were fine after redoing them, also that night we did some sound with the microphone such as the knife tapping on the window and the news reporter talking over one of the shots.

Things we had to do in preparation to the filming was applying make-up to becci (the clown) Rob and me (played the people who get killed in the opening). We were heavily relying on the weather to be nice for us to film outside because our clown make-up would have easily come off which would have ruined our filming time, we had to film in pitch black so we made sure that we were all willing to be up all night by the end of it we were very tired.

We filimed each shot fairly quick but sometimes there would be problems with our shots, like Amy had to move all of us in different directions to see what would have worked best and there were also things which would be things which we weren't supposed to have done which acctually worked quite well. we filmed most of our shots more than once so that we have more than one to pick from when were putting our final piece of work together.

We completed all shots outside first because we wanted to make sure that it didn't rain after we completed all the shots outside we started filming the shots inside the house this went well because we didn't need to make any adjustments to the costume when we started filming inside. After we had done the shots before the two characters got killed we had to put blood on mine and robs tops to add to the effect we thought that this looked very realistic and worked well.
We had a little problem afterwards because we looked at all of our work which we were planning on using and realised that we needed to do some shots of again the next day thankfully.

overall i think the filming went well and hopefully when we put it together to make our final opening it will be of a high standard.
