Filming

The opening sequence for our film is designed to be within the thriller genre. For inspiration we looked at films such as "Scream" and "I know what you did last summer" and looked closely at the camera angles, plots, lighting, mise-en-scene and dialogue.

During the week we spent filming we experienced the following difficulties that made it tricky to stick to the initial filming plans:

- Availability: The building most of our opening sequence was being filmed in was not always free when we needed to film. Although we realized this and had it in mind when creating the filming schedule it was still a major inconvenience. To overcome this we had to arrange in advance what days we would be using it to film in.

- The Weather: Another difficulty we overcame was the weather. We had not expected a snow storm the weekend before we were scheduled to start filming. This meant we could not start to film until the snow had cleared for the sake of continuity. However we used this time to get more prepared for the filming so when we could start it wouldn't take as long as we had estimated.
