Filming

On January 10th 2015 we carried out a day of filming on location in Tunbridge Wells. For our film opening, we need a large cast, mostly consisting of extras. This meant that we had to make up and film pans and scenes of 15 dead bodies on the floor on one day, to avoid continuity issues with some people being unable to attend the filming on multiple days. We arrived at the location in the morning and set up the filming area. The potential for different angled shots was restricted significantly due to modern technology and appliances in the room such as a television and gym equipment.

We directed everyone to arrive in dark clothing, preferably dark black and blue.


We filmed on two iPhone 6 phones from different angles so that we had more footage to choose from, this helped a lot, especially when filming the fight scenes.

The only major issues we encountered were time constraints - as we had around 15 people to make up realistically, therefore, it took us longer than we expected to set up and shoot the scenes. Another issue was making sure that we shot every scene we needed due to the unlikelihood of being able to re-film shots with the same actors at a later date. We made a conscious effort to film all the footage and more than we needed of the extras as we were aware that it would be easier to re-film if we needed to with a couple of actors as opposed to a large cast.
