Today, myself and my group filmed the first scene of our horror trailer. The scene we shot is the one in the storyboard which features Scarlett nervously waiting for her fate to be decided and meet her new parent. I did all of the filming for this scene; Christal checked how I positioned the camera and made sure Helen knew how to perform, whilst Shahnaaz took pictures of us talking about the shots and me filming. We decided to film this scene during our lunch break as it only features Helen, and we would be able to go to our next Media lesson (which was after lunch) with something to edit. However, we experienced a number of problems with filming at this location. Firstly, this room is normally where students go when they are unwell at school; we were warned that students may be in there when we went to film and also that we would need to leave if someone came and needed to sit in the room. We also underestimated how much space there was in the room as it became hard to maneuver the camera equipment and ourselves in a very small space. Finally, as it was our first time filming, we completely underestimated how long it would take to get the shots right and how many times we would have to practice doing it before getting it perfect. Fortunately, our actress Helen was very understanding about the situation, as were the staff who let us use the room.
