Filming schedule

We decided to film the majority of our footage in February as we had a holiday from sixth from within that month; we planned to use Paige's garden to film some of the scenes in as she had a garden shed that worked well for our stalkers isolated room. We planned to film the other shots in a large grass area next to a local park near Leah's house which was convenient to us as it wasn't very far away from where Leah lived.

February 15th - on this day we decided to film the parts in Paige's garden; we started filming at around 4 pm because we though the lighting outside wouldn't be too bright but also not too dark by this point, we needed a source of natural but not too harsh lighting. We filmed Joe (playing the villain) walking through Paige's garden, running his hand across the banister leading up to the shed in the garden, opening the shed door, looking over the stalking timetable and all the other shots that he was included in. We successfully filmed all the right footage with Joe in that we needed on this day.

February 17th - on this day we went to the local park near Leah's house to film the footage of Leah (as she playing the role of the victim). We started filming at the park at around 2 pm, we chose this time as we needed brighter, harsher lighting on so it was clear to see her on camera. However because of the intense brightness on this day, the shot of the phone with the text reading "I'm watching you" couldn't be read clearly by the camera as the light was reflecting on to the screen meaning you see the camera through it and could hardly read the text message. We realised we had to re-schedule a time to film this shot.

February 18th - on this day the weather wasn't suitable for filming outdoors so we decided to film the footage from the computer of the stalker on Leah's Facebook page; these shots took a lot of time accuracy and plenty of trial and error shots as it was difficult to film from the computer screen with out catching the cameras reflection. eventually we secured all the right shots that we needed and had completed another section of our filming. Later on on this day we filmed the shots of our friend Joe (playing the villain) sitting by the computer screen including his hand resting on the mouse and him pressing his lips together.

February 23nd - on this day we filmed all the remaining filler shots that we needed including the padlock, the burning timetable and re-filming of the phone, the lighting was darker on this day so it was clear for the camera to pick up the writing on the text message.

When returned back from the holiday we uploaded and edited all of our footage, but because we had filmed some shots horizontally they didn't look right once they had been uploaded, for this reason we had to re-do some filming over the a few weekends in order to get the best shots that we could.

We had finished the majority of our filming by mid March, but still had to change and develop some scenes which we were pointed out through our feedback.
