Re- edit/ re-shoot
Like many films made there aren't always shots that work well first time, there are always bloopers etc. Therefore there were a few scenes we had to re shoot once we got the footage on the macs when we noticed a few errors.
As the cameras were always busy being booked in and out, we booked a particular day but when we started to film after we finished school that day we discovered that even though it wasn't too dark to the naked eye the video camera didn't have enough light to capture the movement of the running sequence therefore we filmed all the inside scenes then. We then booked the camera out a few days later and re-shot this on the 25th November 2010 3:30pm -4:00pm, I then edited it so it looked darker.
As friends were used as actors who have no experience of acting it took a few takes to get them used to being on camera even after running through directions and dialogue etc. one scene we had to re-shoot was the scene where the girl's laying on the sofa putting the vodka bottle down, this took 3 takes as the first time her hand was too far away and the second she felt uncomfortable and smiled during the filming, however the third take was perfect, the restless sleeping didn't look realistic in this scene so this was re-shot on the 25th November 2010 6:45 as this was an inside scene the time was not essential.
One thing I noticed when looking on the footage on the camera once a scene was filmed which consisted of filming a door opening from both sides was the fact that when we switched from one side to the other the continuity of how far open the door had to be differed so that was re-shot, on the same day minutes later.
One more error we encountered was that as we filmed the girl running out the house at night, (darkness wasn't a problem due to the light on the porch) however as it was dark and only lit by this light it caused a reflection on the window which had to be re-shot in a different position, this was also re-filmed on the same day moments later.
