Time Management Schedule

After deciding that the genre for our film would be horror we starting arranging times to film. As it was a horror we decided that we would need to film when the lighting was fairly dark so it would create a scary atmosphere. On our first day of filming we went out at about 4:15pm to film. Upon arrival at our designated destination we began filming. As this was our first day of filming we weren't entirely sure about what we were doing because we were only just getting used to the camera. This meant that it took a lot longer than we thought and we had to call it a day fairly shortly after we began filming. We had to stop filming because it got too dark to film. A few days later we decided to go out again and film. We went at about 4:15 again and began filming, but again, we had to stop relatively shortly after as it got too dark. We realised that this was a big problem for us. As it got dark at around half 4 and we only get back from school at 4 we only really had a half an hour window to film, sometimes not even that. Due to other commitments we were only really able to film on weekdays which was not very practical as we would only have half an hour slots to film and we would only get this half an hour slot once or twice a week. This meant we were very limited on our filming time so when we did have the time to film we would end up rushing through the filming which then ended up in the scenes not looking very good. After watching the scenes we had filmed we realised it did not look very good and came to the decision that we should begin filming again. Obviously there would be no point filming in the same conditions as before so we decided to completely change our idea. We came to an agreement to film in the light so we would have an extremely significant amount of time longer to film. This then meant that we did not have to rush our filming and also the shot types we would be using will be much clearer. Also, because we are now going to be filming in the light it means that we will be able to stay out filming for longer so it will be easier to keep track of the shot types and hopefully everything will flow more.
