Changes made during filming

During the filming we made a few changes from our plans. Firstly, instead of Sam being Ben in our film, we decided to hire an extra called David. We did this as David was better at football and therefore would be more realistic at playing the football fanatic Ben. It was also so that we had more members of our team focusing on our filming.

Another change we made was the way we killed Darren. We believed that stabbing him and using fake blood would look unrealistic, so instead we decided to strangle him. This would be easier to film and help to make sure that the death didn't look too unrealistic and create a comedy murder rather than the horror factor we are looking for.

Furthermore, we made a few changes to the script. We believed our film had too much dialogue and this could bore the viewers , which is the opposite of what we are trying to achieve. Therefore we tried  to put more action in and less speech.

 

Progress we have made so far

So far within our team we have planned what we were going to do and how we were doing to do it. This included script, shot types, props, characters and creating a timetable of when we could film. We did all this planning to insure that we would have time to film and so that when we got there we were organized and didn't waste filming time. 

We split our filming into two sections. We filmed our first half on Tuesday the 10th. We then used our lessons to edit what we had all ready done and see if any improvements needed to be made. The next time we filmed was on Monday 2nd. We first of all made some improvements e.g. we had to re film part of it due to continuity issues and also lighting problems. We then filmed the rest of the film and are now in the process of editing. If there are any problems then we will go out and film at our next available free period. 

The only other time we filmed was on Tuesday the 17th. This was going to be our introduction. We went to film at a football match, where Watford were playing and filmed fans coming out of the match. This was meant to catch the atmosphere and create a interesting establishing shot to start our film. However, we decided not to use the shots that we filmed, as the wether was bad and therefore people were wearing coats and you could not see the Watford tops. This therefore did not create the effect we were looking for and didn't believe it would look good within our film.
