In the morning, we briefed the actors with what we wanted them to do, what their relationship was and how to react to each other. We also guided them through the takes and helped them throughout filming.
We collected all our equiptment from school and headed for our location, when we got there it was heavily raining, which cancelled out our idea of sunny establishing shots, however this heavy rain ended up being a great success and actually massively benefitting our sequence. The rain seemed like pathetic fallacy and at one point after a blow to Gabes head, we found the heavens opening and a massive amount of rain luring down drenching our actors and making the area very muddy and mellow looking. Because we were surrounded by trees and forrest this also added atmospheric sound and lighting to our shots. When the boys were fighting the rain and blood was dripping onto their faces and well as mud and leaves, giving a thoroughly interesting and realistic feel.
For the breakdown of harry, we wanted to find somewhere, which would be suitable for cinematic and dramatic shots. I knew of a viewpoint which was easily accessible and not busy, meaning it would be perfect for our thriller.
For the shoot we brought a semi professional camera (sony NX-5), which allowed us to film handheld creating a hectic and chaotic feel to the shoot, which is essentially the essence we wanted to capture. We also brought a tripod incase there were any frames we wanted to film as a stable shot (for example the establishing shots), however we found it unnecessary and decided not to use it.
