4th day of filming

On the 4th planned day of filming we wanted to complete a film the footage at both the train station and the car park. One issue that came about before we set off to film was which car park we was going to film at, me and Brad discussed the idea that we wanted it close and large enough for the shots that we wanted. From discussing our ideas as a team we thought the best place to film would be the car park in Brentwood behind the high street. We thought this was a good choice as it was big enough and was always busy.

When arriving at the car park around 11pm we noticed that it was very busy with nearly all spaces taken up. This was exactly what we was looking for as it created a better effect and it meant that our main character could run in and out of the cars creating the sense of panic.



We managed to produce some good shots throughout the hour we was there. We followed the storyboard creating the shots we needed. Apart from that we decided to get a few different shots from different angle's then we presumed because the layout of this car park was a little different and also the amount cars meant that we could get better less reviling shots of the character. One problem we did notice is that because the car park was so busy we had to wait a few minutes between shots for cars to drive past. This made the shooting in the car park longer then we had originally planned it to be.



After shooting in the car park we decided to get some food then go straight to Brentwood train station to film. After asking permission from the council if we could film at the station we started filming straight away. We decided to get both shots of our main character running off the train and down the platform to the exit and running up the platform and getting on the train. This allowed us to decide whether we wanted to have this after or before the car park scene.



Overall the day went well and me and Brad managed to get around 30-40 seconds worth of footage once we had edited it back in the editing suite.
