29th of November - Shot-over
We chosen to film the military training days on this day because it hadn't been raining for a while and because we had convince another friend of ours to film with us on training days. We headed of from school on Friday and arrived very tired and worn out by the steep hill on the way there. We hadn't planned it very well when it came to carrying up the equipment up the steep hill and so when we arrived we were breathless. Once we caught our breath we chose our location setting and the actresses Evelyn and Dawn got dress in their costumes. The shots we had planned to shoot were some of them running up the hill jumping over logs, running under things etc and anything else that it needed would then be thought of later.
So once we decided where we were going to shot our first shot we had the actors practise running up a steep hill one behind the other and we had to position the camera so that the we would film them running from behind and then once they reach the top of the hill have a shot of them passing the camera. Aalisha then thought she knew somewhere more adventurous within the location and so we started to follow her along the pathways in the forest. She didn't find it. After almost getting lost we decided to stay as close to the entrance of the forest as much as possible and found some great area in where we thought would look good if we had them jumping over a fallen branch and a running under a den. We chose to use a low angled shot for when the actress jumps over the logs and then a mid shot but through some leaves and thin branches for when our actress jumped over a high branch in another shot.
Because it was so cold and it would get dark at 15:30 we decided that that was enough and made our way out of the forest before it became dark.
