Today Becky, Cally and Marie decided to re- film some
scenes that had been deleted due to a corrupt memory card. We had the struggle
of trying to retrieve these documents, we sent the memory card to a company
that specialize in data recovery. After waiting over a month I took it upon
myself to phone the company and see what was happening with our media card.
They stated that they had to send it to forensics in order to get access to the
data as it was so corrupt and this would cost over £200. As we do not have the
budget for this we then went on to start filming again.
Today, they refilmed the clock and the phone. They set up a table with a blanket, a boys bag, a laptop, a phone, folders and other essentials that you would find on a boys bedside table. They then took some pictures of the set up and filmed with the lights off in the corridor and decided on who would be best the other two then would send the texts to the phone on the table in the correct time to be filmed. It proved difficult to focus the camera on the phone as it is such a bright light so this took longer than anticipated, however, we managed to do it after making some adjustments.
When filming the clock this was much easier as they left the camera on the tripod and filmed it at 12 o'clock for one minute then again at 3,6 and 9 o clock for a minute, they used a torch spotlight on my phone to give it a dark shadowy effect and unintentionally the clock swayed, this accident worked to our advantage as they were then able to create a creepier effect. They then filmed it close up and further away so that when we edit it we can show the clock from different angles, or and the space we were using. Becky, Marie and Cally all attempted to film and when they did they will also speed up the clock moving through the times so that it symbolizes that a lot of time has passed.
