We planned to start filming when it was light at roughly about 3 o'clock but unfortunately we didn't get to film until half past 4 due to traveling difficulties that occurred when James and Nikki were traveling to the shooting location. This was extremely frustrating as this meant that it was already dark so we had poor lighting for he running sequence which was to be filmed outside. This meant that we only had the one small camera light (of which only one of the camera lights were working ) to light this whole sequence. This therefore meant that on the camera you could only see just less than a meter away and barely that. Yet as we had already filmed inside of the house with it being pitch black outside of the window we could therefore lose all of that footage and shoot the next day or just film in the dark and keep it a bit simpler.
After a brief conversation we came to the conclusion that since it was difficult for some members of our group to get to the shooting location and we were already there that we would continue the shoot and see how it looked and if it didn't work then come back and film at a later date. After i played back the footage to myself on the camera i think it looked but reasonably but im worried about watching it back on a screen as it could look alot darker.
Another thing that i am worried about is that because James and Nikki had to leave early (they were being picked up at six) and working the tripod is not my strongest point, that some of the shots may be wonky. Nikki has since suggested that perhaps this could edge towards a canted look which could work in our favor.
