DAY 1 of Filming the opening credits
DAY 1, Underpass – Milton Keynes.
The weather report was right that we would have very stormy weather and rain, we liked the fact it was going to rain as it made our scene more atmospheric. The wind was a little issue and it was a bit cold which made our stand in camera man move a little. lucky we worked around this and were ready to film the first few parts.

The shots were worked in order of distance, as the rain wasn’t that bad we got the longer away shots down were the camera was not in cover incase it rained. We had a problem as this was a public place so we struggled with getting opening where people were not walking through and it was looking a bit more secluded. But with Gaps amongst people coming back we got the shots done easily.
Their were some issues as Josh is the main character and the cameraman, it was hard to check that the shot looked okay with me in it as well as when we used someone else. But by using a stand in of our producer we saw what it looked liked and got the shots done. they looked good and we even added in a potential one we saw that interested us.
the shots were hard to get a smooth flow so we adopted a more movement in the shots and have some deliberate shake which gave it more depth and flow. this also made the close up shots varied and have a touch of disjointedness to them.
We considered it before filming and decided that the disjointed movement of the camera gave the character a little bit more mystery as it was moving and unclear who he is and what he is doing. his mind seems disjointed yet he is very calm and slow. This will leave the audience to make their own opinion up if they think he is crazy or in control. which we decided looked better than slow swooping movements.

Overall the day shooting went really well, it was very planned and worked well. team was controlled by our editor and we took many takes but they were to perfect some movements of our character. over all a good day filming.
