For our thriller we wanted to film at a beach in a secluded area so when we decided on Suffolk we had to pick a day we were all free so that Emily's mum could take us. As our location was quite far away it meant we had to get a lot of filming done so that we didn't have to re shoot.
Day one
Our first day of shooting took place on the beach in Aldeburgh, Suffolk on Tuesday morning, we decided to wake up early so that the lighting outside wouldn't be too bright. We woke up at 5:30 and prepared to film, this included doing the make-up on Jenny's face and Emily's arm.
When this was finished we walked down to the beach with Jenny in her costume and some warm cover ups for Jenny for after she went in the sea.
When we got to the beach it was 6:00 so the lighting was quite dusky like we wanted, but we needed to be quick as the sun was coming up very quickly. Our first shots were of Jenny's character walking down the beach and then of her in the water, then of her walking back up the beach.One problem that we had when filming was that we didnt have a tripod so we had to keep our hand very steady when filming. We carried on filming anyway as we knew we had to get it done on that day. We did the shots of the arm and then finished filming by 7:00. We ended up with about 20 minutes of footage which we are pleased with as we have a lot of shots to choose from when editing.
Day two
Our second day of shooting took place at Emily's house, for this we needed to put the contacts on Jennys eyes but we decided that we werent going to have the same make-up as before as she is in the bath. When we were filming we took it in turns too stand over Jenny to film. This went quite well however Jenny had trouble opening her eyes underwater like we planned so instead we decided we would just have her hair underwater so that the shot would look effective.
