Write-up of shoot.

We decided that we would shoot our opening sequence on Sunday day and in our opinion, we think it went relatively well. There was a problem though. Halfway through our shoot it started raining which caused problems when shooting because we were trying to keep the camera dry. It was difficult and in the end we had a break just so that the rain could ease off slightly so that the camera would not get too wet. This allowed us to prepare for the next shot and to have something to eat. We all had a couple of cases where we forgot to turn off the camera and where something went a little bit wrong and we both started laughing. This delayed one of our shots as we had regain our composure before we were able to shoot again. We also had to avoid background noise but it was awkward because there were cranes and people moving around in the background. We did stray from the storyboard a bit as we realised that there were some parts of it that we were unable to do either due to weather or because we decided that there was a lack of practicality about some of the shoots that we were aiming to do. One of these was the blood in the river shot because what we were using got washed away in the stream, making it difficult to do the shot. So we improvised by using a shot by the stream as if somebody had fallen and left a bloodmark by the edge of the stream, adding to the idea of an attack.
