April 1st 2011 – Me and Karima meet up after school at 4pm and went back to her house to carry on filming the other scenes. When we got there, we immediately changed into our costumes and characters. While I sat up the camera, Karima removed all props and objects that where in the way of where we were going to film. Today we decided to finish of the two toilet scenes and corridor scene. We set ourselves a time limit of 1 hour but as 45 minuets past we realised we will need more time as we had to approach many problems when shooting these scenes. Firstly, we were both starring in the corridor scene, and we never had a 3rd person to help film us. The only way we could recover this situation was by pressing play to the camera and then going into place and start acting, when we finished the acting we had to do I would run to the camera and stop it in order to change the positioning of the camera. Although this was very time consuming and the footage didn’t turn out too go whilst it was on the camera tape I knew there was no need in worrying as all of that could be fixed when editing. We also faced another difficulty, because the corridor to the bathroom was extremely narrow we had such a hard time trying to get the tripod in the right position and get the camera shots straight. After approximately 1 hour and a half, We had completed filming every angle of the scene so it was time to film inside the bathroom; we only had a bit of battery left so we kept on having to rush through to the camera and back pausing and rewinding scenes to see what needed to be taped again. This scene also took a lot of time to set up as we had to try and fit the tripod inside the bath and out of sight of the mirror; we had to do this because the mirror in her bathroom was covering most of the wall and we didn’t want to have the camera as a reflection in the film. Luckily we got all the filming of the bathroom and bedroom scenes done, which meant we only had a few more scenes to shoot.
