Recording diary

Recording Diary 1

Today was the first day of filming.
After meeting at 11 we went to the park to discuss what the plan was for the footage what we wanted to get, after looking through the props we had brought to use we realised that the SD Card that is used in the camera was missing. We then went into Leatherhead town to get another SD Card as a replacement. After inserting the new SD Card we went to the centre of town and got some scenery shots of the time before the apocalypse that we would use as flashback memory's for our main protagonist, Alex.
We tested out different shots that we would be able to use with the infected, using the camera as a first person view of either a human being chased by an infected, or as a zombie attacking a human. Featuring a knock over of the camera, this allows us to show the feet of a character without spoiling who they are to the audience.

Looking at costume, we got some of the items that we thought Alex could be wearing, We wanted to spray paint a florescent yellow hat black, When we began to spray the hat the paint turned out to be red. After debate, we realised that the way that the paint sprayed made the red paint look like blood, we decided to keep this as it gives the audience the impression that there has been a lot of death around Alex that he has directly influenced of witnessed.
