Filming 28th November

Today Myself, Cally and Marie decided to re- film some scenes that had been deleted due to a corrupt memory card. We had the struggle of trying to retrieve these documents, we sent the memory card to a company that specialize in data recovery. After waiting over a month I took it upon myself to phone the company and see what was happening with our media card. They stated that they had to send it to forensics in order to get access to the data as it was so corrupt and this would cost over £200. As we do not have the budget for this we then went on to start filming again.

Today, we refilmed the clock and the phone. We set up a table with a blanket, a boys bag, a laptop, a phone, folders and other essentials that you would find on a boys bedside table. We then took some pictures of the set up and filmed with the lights off in the corridcided on who would be best the other two then would send the texts to the phone on the table in the correct time to be filmed. It proved difficult to focus the camera on the phone as it is such a bright light so this took longer than anticipated, however, we managed to do it after making some adjustments.

When filming the clock this was much easier as we left the camera on the tripod and filmed it at 12 o'clock for one minute then again at 3,6 and 9 o clock for a minute, we used a torch spotlight on my phone to give it a dark shadowy effect and unintentionally the clock swayed, this accident worked to our advantage as we were then able to create a creepier effect. We then filmed it close up and further away so that when we edit it we can show the clock from different angles, or and the space we were using. Myself, Marie and Cally all attempted to film and when we dewe will also speed up the clock moving through the times so that it symbolizes that a lot of time has passed.
