Due to weather issues, our planned reshoot for Sunday 5th February was called off. I live around country roads and lanes and they were not properly cleared. Due to the snow, I was not willing to put anyone in danger for the reshoot. Reshoots have & will take place on
Tuesday 7th February.
Thursday 9th February.

What People Did For The Shoot
On Monday 19th December, I was the cameraman, with Maisy & Abbie co-directing (this includes lighting.)
On Tuesday 20th December, Abbie was the main camera person (with a few additional shots by me) Maisy & I co-directed, with Maisy taking the bulk of the directing.
On Tuesday 7th February, Maisy was the main camera person (with Abbie & myself co-directing & lighting.)
On Thursday 9th February, we will all (hopefully) share the camera and directing roles.
Our plans are for the final edit are:
Abbie - Foley
Maisy - Effects
Joe - Garageband (Music)
Due to technical issues (Google being a complete and utter failure) we are unable to access our group blog & will shortly re-create and copy & paste all of our previous work onto it.

What I Have Learned
Parity shoot.
From this shoot, I have learned that it is important that all the members of your group feel as if they are involved.
I have learned that it is very hard to try and recreate a piece of media from an earlier piece, this is probably why most film remakes aren't as true to the original.
I have learned that effects and background colouring play big parts in setting the mood & atmosphere of the piece.
I have learned that foley is very hard to try and create but it is more effective than ripping an audio file and using that.
I have also learned that very little dialogue is more effective to setting the scene than lots of dialogue explaining what is going on.

What I Have Learned
Dexter shoot.
I have learned that I need to have all of my groups numbers in case of emergency (or my phone gets stolen.)
I have also learned that it is near enough impossible to shoot something over one day so continuity is very important and very hard to make true.
I have learned that you definitely need to film 5 seconds before and after you shoot the scene, it makes batch capturing so much easier, something we learned the hard way.
I learned that it's quite hard to get actors at last minute and you need to confirm people at least a week before hand.

Hide & Seek Review
Yesterday, I watched a film called Hide & Seek. It is a mixture of horror & thriller. Its horror elements are easily spotted, such as the fact that one of the final scenes is set in a wooded area/cave with a blood thirsty murderer. The thriller aspects are that the main character is a psychologist and the film revolved around a split personality mental disorder. You have to watch the film and think about what's happening instead of just watching it.
