Post 9 Production

Our filming as whole went very well as the people we picked to act our scenes realised what this was for. Consequently meaning we did not need to retake hardly at all. Apart from a few scenes a gun was dropped but nothing to problematic

To start our production we decided to film the fairly easier scenes of Carlson leaving for work. The first problem we encountered was that whilst filming Carlson in the mirror the camera and tripod kept on sneaking into shot. So we had to be clever about how the camera man positioned himself around the room. Secondly the Suitcase we where meant to use went missing on the day of shooting. As a group we decided that we would just use a fairly bulky laptop case instead, which unfortunately not produces the desired affected as a regular metal briefcase. In hind sight we should have made sure all props where accounted for rather then just presuming someone just had a briefcase.

We then went onto filming the terrorist scenes with the biggest problem were that was no source of power; therefore we could use lighting other then natural resource. Most of the shots where okay as we filmed towards the mouth of the garage however a few shots had to be at the back of the garage and it was very dark towards the back, however we lighted up our shots threw editing, therefore giving our video a more user friendly feel with a good video quality.

Secondly as we approached our scripted part it turns out that we had lost our script.
 This meant that we weren't able to shoot the dialogue scenes that day and we had to wrap filming for the day with was a pain as we wanted to get filming done quick as possible so we could start we the editing process.  A week had passed and we organised the same location and actors with the new script, However this time the van we had before had broken down earlier in the week and we had no other way of getting a van. We again we had to modify our script and leave out the last few scenes of our story board, however the shots still connected very well with out damaging our mise-en-scene.
 To conclude I feel our filming good have gone better, we should have been more organised and prepared to film. When we started filming we flew threw it all. A lot of the problems we had where not to major and we dealt with them very well to leave us with a good quality opening to a thriller film
