Extra Shooting


On Thursday 6th January we did some last-minute shooting to make sure that our film was as good as it could be, and also to compensate for footage which was corrupted by a school computer. We had to re-shoot all of the scenes in the countryside.

Initially, this was a very depressing prospect. Especially considering that the weather was appalling and it had been raining consistently all day. However, this poor weather did at least look excellent on camera, and allowed us to get some very inspiring shots, in particular of the bleak countryside and rivers and puddles at the side of the road.

Using a checklist, we went around the back roads filming all of the shots we needed. Thanks to our (for once) excellent organisation and the knowledge of exactly what we needed, we got all of this done within a few hours. This was pretty fortunate, as by the end of the day we were all completely soaked, which was deeply unpleasant.

Even though many of the shots from the countryside will only be in the film for a few seconds or less, I am satisfied that they will be extremely effective in showing our protagonist’s loss of sanity.
