On Sunday we filmed the outdoor shots for our film opening. We decided to meet at 12 so that we would have at least 4 and a half hours of filming before dark. We were wary of the autumn light and British weather so we tried to get about filming as fast as possible.The first thing we did was too drop in in a local pub so that we could sort the actors out with their costumes and make-up.
We had discussed what shots we wanted previously so that there would not be too much arguing between us. We decided to do each shot chronologically so that we didn't miss any out and so we could visualise what editing/watching it would be like. We ran through what we wanted each shot to do and then filmed it. There were generally two of us at the camera at one time while the other two talked to the actors or took pictures for our blogs. We took two camera and two tripods with us. The ones we got from school we used to film the actual thing. The other two were to film us filming. However, my old camera chose that moment to stop working, so we couldn't make a lengthy video. Annoyingly it started working again once we had finished.
For the shot were Martin finds the bag with the walkie talkie, me and brad made an area in the forest look a bit like a camp site by putting some logs in a tire to look like a fire.
A lot of time was spent going through lines with martin and making sure he knew what to do.
Here is a picture of Chris with a stupidly small tripod. He was doing a low angle shot.
Here is Lisa, our expendable character, with Summer, our kid zombie. Lisa was later given make-up for the bullet wound but you can see Summers zombie make-up here.
