Before we started filming we never understood how complicated it would be to get all the shots that we required without giving too much away and getting the background of the location included. The first day that we started to film, we had each of our props ready and laid out how we wanted - our dinner was pasta bake. After looking back at the camera shots and what we filmed we agreed that this particular meal wasn't suitable, so we changed it to a steak (the idea of the blood) and we re-filmed.
The second day, in which we went to film, the camera battery ran out. Like planned, we returned to school the following day and re-charged the battery, but also took with us a spare one. However, we missed out on a day of essential filming therefore we had to make the time up and work hard on the weekend.
A further problem what we had was the lighting. For the scene to look romantic we needed to turn off all the main lights and make use of the light from the candles. We filmed the scene but when we played it back it still wasn't as light as what we intended it to be. We therefore came into school and took back with us a red head lighting kit, the shutters on this light allowed us to direct the light specifically where we needed it to be and this made the whole scene look so much better when we filmed it again.
PROBLEMS WITH EDITING:
Fortunately the editing for our sequence was quite simple. The whole idea of our sequence was not to be continuous, we wanted the audience to feel uneasy and in a way confused as to what was going on so we kept jumping back and forth from the meal to the girl tied up. However, one problem that did frequently occur was figuring out the best way to link the shots together. Cross dissolve, and additive dissolve were eventually the main two editing techniques that we used for the shots.
