The Filming.

It finally got to my designated filming day. Firstly I got fellow A-level drama student Eve Silver to read my chosen poem. She did it in an Irish accent, which gave a new edge to the film and made it a bit deeper. 
Once this was done I had a few hours untill i needed to film. So I decided to put all the audio on the computers and edit it. I twinned the narration with the Soundtrack that I chose. Janes Escape from Jane Eyre. The editing process was very easy and I didn't have any problems. Once the audio was finished, I was able to really have an idea of what my finish film might look like.
Later on the actress I was using was available. We walked to location, which was a track next to some fields behind Wymondham Rugby Club. I needed to direct her running down the track and me filming her from different angles. Because she was a few years younger than me and my friend who was helping, I think she was a little bit nervous. Luckily this didn't affect her performance at all, I made sure I had her running from many different angles, so that if one didn't look right during the editing process, it wouldnt be the end of the world. 
We finished the exterior filming within an hour, which is a lot less time that i originally scheduled for. 
The next day was a Saturday so i was able to have as much time filming the interior section of  my opening. I originally set out to film a door opening with the diary being in the cupboard, then zooming in, then the shot going to the exterior section of film. However the morning of the interior filming, I watched the film, 'The Reader' this gave me a lot of last minute inspiration, because the film is about books and reading etc and mine is about a diary, i was able to use shots they did, and interpret them in my own way. Because of this, I filmed someone writing in the diary at an interesting angle. I also filmed pictures and things, im hoping that this will emphasise the time period and theme of the film. I also used a hairdryer blowing on the diary, so the pages would flicker. 
All in all, so far I am very happy with how the filming has gone. Now i just need to wait and see how it looks when I edit it.
