To film the parts in the wood, we needed a few hours to film in the day and because we're at college throughout the week and then working etc at the weekend, it was difficult to find the time. We got up early on Sunday morning and filmed in the cold for nearly four hours.
It was sometimes challenging because quite often there would be people walking past us, with their dogs or families so occasionally the filming was disrupted.
Instead of using the colleges' video cameras, we used Steph's SLR camera that you can film on. We thought this way, we'd be able to get much better effects and the quality of the footage would be much higher. Because we had better equipment, we tried to use better effects. For example, in one close up of my face (for the performance footage) I looked up to the camera and Steph used a shallow depth of field then focused the lens so the foreground stayed clear (me) and the background went blurry. This effect looked really good and I hope to use it in the actual video.
We took more shots than we needed so we had a choice of the best and even after three and a half hours, there are still parts we need to film.
