On the 7th January, the team had organised to come back to my house in order to film. We carefully transported the equipment back and began as soon as we got home. Due to the time of year it got dark very quickly so we had to take advantage of what little light we had. We could always darken the footage in post should we need to. If we let it get too dark then the footage wouldn't be visible and trying to fix it via editing would make the footage look unprofessional.
We first captured the footage on the street, using the tripod for steady, establishing shots. Luckily we didn't have any problems with passers by and the street was very quiet.
Once all of the outdoor scenes had been captured, we moved indoors, filming the boy entering my house, being abused by the mother as well as filming the scene where he runs into his room. Overall i feel that we did very well in keeping to time and not missing out on footage that we could have used. I personally tried to film interesting shots that could be thrown into the video such as a focusing shot on a street lamp or a piece of cloth in the wind.
Once it was dark outside we quickly got the footage of the boy leaving the house in the dark. This was the hardest part since it was very hard to see exactly what was being filmed in the dim light. However once we were was satisfied we had gotten all the footage we needed we called it a day and settled into to a take away pizza.
