Filming Schedule
A filming schedule is important as it allows us to be able to create our opening sequence easily as we can refer to what we have planned for the opening sequence and be able to film with greater ease as we already know what we want to use.

When it came to filming the piece, my group had been separated into a two and a one, my group being myself and the camera alone in the winter chill, which affected the filming schedule as the times were changed to new times where I only had to worry about myself being able to turn up, meaning that I could film at more convenient times and get the work done quicker, like when I was able to film after school on some days as I didn't have to worry about my group being absent due to after school commitments. I also had to change the time for the planning scenes as it was too early and I wouldn't have enough time to film as much as I wanted in the given time, shown by the first few slides on the schedule, and I would be able to film for longer if I were to reschedule to after school and on the weekends, which I ended up doing as it would give me more time to explore different things I can do without having a time limit, meaning i could re-do shots that may have been worse the first time filming it and do more shots. An example of this is the opening sequence, where some shots were too bright to fit into the genre, so I decided to redo them in a darker setting which would add to the sinister ambience of the scene. I added many additional slides for the opening of the opening sequence as there wasn't enough footage that I had gotten and I needed to get some more in order to access a wider range of maneuverability when it came to editing my piece, so by adding more slides I could give myself more opportunities to create a longer build up to the killing and increasing the suspense felt in the audience, as I know I would have more wiggle room to try out more things without having to limit myself to what I can do. When it came to editing, I thought the end of the piece was too short and abrupt, so I decided to go back and film more onto the end of the piece where you see the killer leave behind the knife and mask, which I think gave a better ending to the piece and interested the audience into watching on. By having a filming schedule I can see how it helps as I have been able to properly manage the different footage I need to be getting and separating it out into manageable chunks so that I have everything I need in order to produce my opening sequence, without having any missing parts that I need.
