Diary entry: 3

Filming session: 4

Today was our third filming session fort he opening sequence, we all met up and started filming around five o'clock and finished roughly around half past seven, this therefore resulted in another successful filming session. Our initial aim was to try and finish all the remaining shots that were left to film. Like the previous filming session, it took us about half an hour to set up all the equipment and the lighting kit. 

Throughout the day we needed to shoot from various locations, this therefore resulted in us having a mixture of outdoor and indoor shots, this assisted with the success of the filming session. First we shot Becky and Gaby's voice overs, however this was not successful due to the fact that the sound on the camera was too low and therefore we were unable to use them, but we then had the idea that we use a pair of Iphone Ear pods  and use the microphone on that. This had a positive outcome because we were able to hear the voice recordings more clearly and were able to use them. We then set up the rest of the equipment and were able to then film the rest of the outdoor footage. Due to the fact that we had all the required equipment, we were able to achieve a lot, however we did encounter a couple issues. The first problem that was raised was that the camera cut out half way through filming, this was because the camera had died because we had been filming a lot. We resolved this problem by taking a break and waiting for the camera to charge. Our second problem that we faced was that when we filmed Gaby's character looking down at the car from the window, the scene was too dark, even with the lighting kit. This issue was swiftly resolved by us turning on the light in the bedroom to make the character more visible on the camera. 

This session was successful because we were able to shoot more scenes and therefore this made the day productive. However, we soon realised that we had missed out a key event that happens in the opening sequence. This was the murder that occurs right at the beginning. We decided that we would wrap up today's footage and then meet another day for the final shots.
