Shooting Our Thriller

On  Thursday 17th January my group and I shot our Thriller opening sequence.
The day before our shoot we sorted out all the props and made sure that we had everything that we needed. So i went and bought a pack of cards and some soup, and liv, toby and Chessie went and got the envelope and pill pot. It was very important that we did this so that everything was organised and ready for the shoot the next day. 
The morning of the shoot I woke up and I was excited and feeling confident that the day was going to go well. Everything was ready to go and I didn’t have any worries or queries about the day ahead. We were ready. 
When we arrived at the first place we were going to shoot all we had to do was set up the camera and get the props ready and organised. We were shooting In a Gastro pub called The William Bray in a small village called Shere in Surrey, so where we were shooting was perfect for the restaurant scene which was the first one we were shooting. I think we dressed the restaurant well to make it look busy.
On the shoot I was a continuity girl and also did some filming. I think that it was good that we all shared roles and mixed them around so everyone had the chance to do everything. I really enjoyed being the filmer and working with the camera and i found it really interesting. 
The part of the shoot that I think was most successful and that I enjoyed the most, was the dropping off of the poison at Peaslake House. I think it was really expressive acting and It was very realistic and I like the shots that we got of the car. There wasn’t really a part of the shoot that I would improve. I think that it all went well and we didn’t really have any problems! Or group was very organised. 
In the edit the bit that I am most looking forward too seeing is all the action that we shot with music layered on top of it. I think it was really improve it all and make it more mysterious and build the tension. 
I feel that my group and I worked really well. We didn’t have any problems and it all flowed well on the day. Now we are starting to edit and we are all really excited to see the finished product. 
The lesson that I think that we have learnt as a group is that on the day of the shooting we can come of from sticking exactly to the story board and we can change it a bit and then re-create it afterwards. Overall it was a really exciting day and good shoot.
