Title Sequence Production Journal

As planned, we managed to film all of our footage in a day during the December holidays. We brought water bottles to the woods we shot in, in preparation  to enhance the stream that we needed to film however the rainy weather that occurred days beforehand provided us with a suitable stream that didn't need any more water. The natural light was a lot brighter than we anticipated however we plan to edit the contrast on Final Cut Pro and create our own eerie atmosphere. We filmed all of the shots that we needed without much difficulty however, after uploading the footage to the computer, realized some of the overhead stream shots were too shaky to use but we made sure that we filmed more than we needed in case some of the footage was unusable.

Another problem that we also faced was during the filming of the burning house. The weather at the time was very windy so we struggled with actually setting the house alight  and had to attempt to do so several time. However, after pouring a small amount of white spirit, placing tissues inside in the dolls house and using more matches, it finally set on fire. We also encountered this problem whilst burning the photos but resolved this by moving into a more sheltered area whilst still remaining outside.
