Reflections From The Shoot

Once we had decided on a date to film we all met up and went on to film the scenes for my thriller opening at my house and down the canal where we filmed the remainder of the thriller. We researched what time sunset would be and planned our time slot for filming accordingly so that we could film it all before it got dark. We were able to film all the scenes that we needed for our thriller in the allotted time period so there was no need to spend another day filming. There were only minor problems when we were filming, such as the weather as it was windy so it was difficult to get good sound quality but it wasn't as bad once we set up the camera and did some practice shots, so it was relatively easy to film the scenes needed. Due to the uneven terrain we were filming on it was difficult to have steady tracking shots of Dane running but except from that most of the shots were steady and usable. There were many bloopers while we were filming but we were able to film it all before sunset so all of our shots had sufficient lighting and are all usable.

Actor's Permission Forms

For the planning of my thriller to seem as realistic as possible and make it seem like it is a real film studio I made all of the actors sign film contribution permission forms so that I had permission to film them. Both Dane and Jaden signed a form saying that I could film them and use the footage for my thriller opening. These are the forms that the actors filled out.
