Production Log Shoot

In preparation for our shoot day which was on the 5th of March, we prepared the locations for our scenes from the night before so as to be ready for the next moring, these locations included the bedroom we would be using for our character to inhbit and the living room that would become a scene for our party that we dressed up in a number of alcoholic bottles and party paraphernalia. Our teacher arrived at nine o'clock along with our main actress whereby we went over our story boards and started shooting. We had the idea to use the camera to push into the room from outside the room with the door closed, from the guidance of our teacher we decided that this wouold not make sense because it would be improbable for a the door to open by itself which would make the film seem more like that of a horror or thriller genre. When directing the stair case scene, we had the idea to have radio 4 on in the back ground which would create a juxtaposition of a troubled girl in a homely atmosphere. We then finished these scenes at around 10 o'clock at this point our actor playing Max turned up but we still had to wait for our other four actors to turn up to start our party scenes. Our production came to a stand still which we filled by planning each shot and practicing the last scene with our two characters Max and Ashley. At this point our teacher decided that we had everything in hand and left us to continue on our own. We resumed production at one o'clock and finshed at two o'clock with only minor problems of dialogue and continuity.
