Day of Shooting for 'ABANDONED'

As planned, set out to film on the 30th December, in a muddy and cold woods.
Due to the group being familiar with the woods we were able to have a rough idea in the area in which we would shoot the river scenes. We knew that, depending on the weather, there may have been little-or no water to film but luckily, it had rained several days before we were due to shoot and therefore there was a substantial amount of water. Although we thought that there would be this water, we still brought along several bottles of water in case it needed enhancing, thankfully we didn't need to do this and instead we used the water to clean our muddy shoes after the day's filming.
    We managed to roughly follow our storyboard and film many different shots of the river, we filmed more shots than we knew we needed as we wanted to prevent the chance of needing to re-shoot, this therefore would leave us enough time to edit.

After filming in the woods, we headed back to our second location on nightfall, to film the burning of the doll's house and photo's. We encountered problems with the filming of this as it was windy outside and the doll's house refused to light but after a sprinkling of white spirit, the house lit and gave us the result we wanted.

Overall, it was a successful day of filming.
