The main fault we encountered was the directing of the preliminary task. When editing we realised that the camera was shaky and sometimes created an unintentional pull focus that made the sequence look unprofessional. When fiming our opening sequence we made sure that the tripod was level and that focus was off, which proved a success as we found that this issue did not occur when we looked at the clips. To make sure we followed out script we needed to find a dark and small room to film our prelim which we found very hard to do. The problems were either a teacher was using the room or it didn’t fit the criteria we wanted which slowed down production. We finally found a room that was perfect and we included a small lamp to add mystery and eeriness. To ensure this didn’t happen when filming our opening sequence, we found a location first to insure we don’t lose any filming time. Filming in a chaotic school made it harder to film as the ambient sound made it difficult to film. To avoid this issue we filmed when students were in lessons as that is the quietest time.
