Thriller Filming Day 1

Today was the first day of filming and it didnt go as we expected, however it wasn't a bad days work. Initially we intended to get a non-media student to be our main character however the person we had in mind was unable to do it for us. At such short notice and because we couldnt afford to loose filming time, we thought the best solution would be to use Antionette - a member of our group. Our second dilema was the room we were meant to be using. on n earlier lesson we asked our teacher to book a room in the library for us to film in but he was unable to get it. We had to improvise using another computer room in college that has a similar layout. The only thing we had to change was a few shots with book shelfs and desks, however i think that the computer room will work better. 
On a better note, the filming that we did get one was quiet good. We experimented with alot of shot types and everyone helped to think of the best ways to film. Efosa has been our main camera-man so far but i believe this works well as he is tallest etc. We were unable to film the scene where the girl recieves the email, as we thought it would be simpler to send it annoynomously, but thats okay because it gives us more practise time and more time to research what we need to do.
All in all i think it was quite sucessful.
