Day 3:Filming

I arrived early today and as I waited for the group to arrive I checked the camera to see if I haved charged the camera whcih I sometimes forget to do, but never during filming time. Anyway, eventually the group appeared and we gathered to discuss what exactly we were going to film. Shadei straightaway decided she needed to change and as the guys walked away we decided to film the shot which was the most controversial because of the danger incolved. we were going to drive over the camera!!!! The first time we drove over it, the camera wasn't even recording so despite all our nerves we had to do it again; I couldn't watch it because it was scary. The second time we went over the camera it was slower which doesn't look good on film so once again we had to do it again. So we composed ourselfs and once again drove over the camera but this time we went over it at full speed, I went up to the van and Ali told me that we need some scenes to come inbetween the bit where Shadei gets licked by her boyfriend and when she gets caught. We tried to film a scene where a case of knives that was opened that didn't work because there was a lack of lighting as well as the problem of how to place the camera in an effective position to get the best outcome. So instead we took the case of knives into the van and filmed a scene that consisted of Shadei's boyfriend opening the case. This scene worked alright although I have to admit this shot was just a filler whilst we decided what to do. After this scene was filmed we figured that maybe we could do a scene in the park, all we did was do a couple of shots in the park of me walking around saying "where is she" whilst searching for Shadei in the bushes. Personally I think that this day didn't go too well as basically to tell the truth we ran out of ideas and were just filling out the time doing shots that we probably weren't going to use.
