Monday 28th February: Shoot day

 As Simon had delayed are casting, Adam was originally casted for the role of the Priest. But thankfully in the morning we went up to photography and spoken to Tom and he kindly agreed to star as the role of the Priest. With the casting all out of the way it was time to begin the day. I had purchased fake blood and are team had decided it was a good idea to splatter it across the apron of the murderer. We achieved this realistic look by getting a spoon and using the underside of it to press the fake blood across it. 

We started are morning going to the Lodge for the opening murder scene. Are shoot started at 10, so we took the time before hand to rehearse the stabbing scene. We experimented with different ways the victim falls to the ground and worked out a method on how to keep the door open when she opens the door. In order to keep it open we had someone stand behind the door out of frame, holding it open when it is opened. We spent an hour at the lodge and after are visit we went into the bus and drove to our church location, which was around 10 minutes. 

We parked outside near the church and we started to set up the camera for the shot of James interacting with Tom the dog walker and his journey from the lodge to the church. Here my team found the best road where he could walk down. In this instance it was a sloped road. We had to keep an eye out for ongoing traffic and had to keep an eye out for the fact that there was someone walking around with a bloodied apron and a bloodied fake knife. We successfully managed to shoot this scene with different perspective angles. We managed to use a dog for this scene as well and we had no complications which is also a positive. After spending around an hour shooting this scene, we went back to school to have lunch and pick up Tom, our Priest. 

After our meal we went back to the church and moved all are equipment into it. From here we filmed the scene where a villager is confessing to the Priest. We spent around half an hour filming her scene as it was her half day. After that, we proceeded to the ending scene where the killer confesses to the Priest. We experimented with many different camera angles. We also had lighting that we played around with to correctly light up the people. We spent around an hour and a bit in the church.
