After not managing our time well as a group, we made some time on Sunday evening to film. However because of our organization we were unable to take a camera out from the college therefore to overcome this problem we used a Nokia mobile, this was a bonus to us as it added to the effect of our film; seeing as we wanted it to be filmed very similarly to 'Blair witch project' and another film, 'cloverfield' which are both filmed hand held all throughout. We went ahead with this style of filming as it seemed much more effective creating a more realistic yet tense atmosphere.
We encountered a couple of problems along the way these being:
-The darkness effected the camera quality as it couldn't focus properly showing only a black screen.
-The variety of shots; we were not able to show a very large variety, this was because of the style in which we filmed it- hand held. However we feel as though we still got the same point across but in a much more realistic way.
We decided when filming to change the order in which our sequence would flow, using what we initially decided to be the very first image on screen to be the last. It would add a sense of confusion and mystery, this is effective as it would make a viewer want to watch on. Also doing the filming all hand held the viewer can then bring themselves into the film creating a connection between the film and themselves.
