On the day of the shoot, we arrived at the train station at 9:45 with all of our kit, with the train leaving the station at 10:14. When we arrived at Edale, the whole group went on a 5 minute walk to get the general direction we were allowed to go. It was a rainy day so we had to focus really hard on getting the shots accurate in terms of the exposure levels. As one of our main shots was to film the character walking up a rough path, we quickly found the location we wanted to use. Unfortunetly it was on the major path where all of the students were walking down so we had to wait until everyone had gone past before we could shoot.
One of the most important things we wanted to try and do was to use the camera to experiment with the focus and depth of field, so using the great location, we used different pieces of nature to focus on as the character walked past, i think this worked really well to very the shots we used as well as make the film good in terms of cinematography.
Overall i think the day was successful as we made sure when we filmed each shot that we thought thoroughly about how the piece would edit together and to keep continuity. Just to be on the safe side, we included some safety shots, for example shots of the tree's and surrounding grass.
Although i found the day to be particularly long and tiresome, i wrapped up nice and warm and found the day to be interesting and a great view on what it would be like to be a film maker.
