Firstly, we filmed the scene where Rosie is a teacher in a classroom filled with students. She silences them and then writes 'Somnium' on the whiteboard. When filming this we had to ensure the students were facing the front at all times. This is because the camera was at the back of the classroom, and we only have permission to film the backs of the students head. If we had caught their faces on camera we would have had to send out permission slips to their parents as they're under 18 and cannot consent themselves.
One thing that we could improve for this scene is the writing on the board. Rosie wrote 'Somnium' too big and it appears broken when the camera footage is played back. Other than this the filming of this scene went very well, and took little time.
The scenes we filmed inside Gabby's house took quite a bit of time to get right. This is because as we were filming more ideas kept coming to our minds and we added things and changed things in order to make it look better.
We used optrex eye wash as fake tears. When Rosie was supposed to be crying, she put some of this solution into her eye which made it appear as though she was shedding tears. This wasn't harmful for her eye.
Finally, we filmed a scene outside where Rosie is filmed running down an ally with the camera chasing her. Initially we were supposed to just film Rosie from in front and behind with the camera stationary, however whilst filming we thought it would have a great effect if the camera appears to be chasing her, implying that something else is in fact chasing her. Whilst outside, the weather took a turn for the worst and it began to rain. In order for the camera and other equipment to stay safe and dry, we held an umbrella over it.
Overall our shoot went well, although we didn't film everything we set out to film, the things we did film were how we wanted them to be, if not better.
