Evaluation of first shoot

We decided to shoot the first few scenes in our school playing fields as in our location reckie we found the perfect place to shoot. We then took the camera and tripod down to the field and went to the trees where we wanted to shoot one of the scenes. We then asked Jess to lie down on her front with her face down in the leaves and mud. We then set up the camera behind her to so her legs were facing towards the camera. However we couldn't find the a good enough shot from where the camera was positioned. So we scouted around the tree line to look for better shots, we settled with two main positions where it was easy to position the tripod and camera. We then shot the scenes using our new positions we used different shots while taking shooting for variety incase we didnt want to use the shots or something went wrong in them while editing. It was the perfect day to shoot as it was overcast which is a typical convention for thriller/horror, and there were crows and children playing close by which are also typical diagetic sounds of horror/thriller films. After the shoot we captured the video on to Adobe Elements 3.0 then Sam started editing the shots we had taken.
