After having a discussion on how to fix our shooting schedule. Our teacher decided to let us miss the rough cut deadline and get everything fully complete for the final deadline next thursday on 5th of February.
In the meantime, we decided to try and film a rough cut version of our film scene just as a primary draft for the first deadline. This was so that it can compensate for our final product incase things were to go wrong again. This would also give us the opportunity to receive feedback when it came to the editing stage for the final product which we would film during this weekend.
Upon the final shooting we decided that it would be best to film somewhere that isn't so abandoned and private as this would be difficult to find. In the end we believed that it would be best so shoot somewhere local around in Cambridge as there is plenty of urban/industrial terrain for us shoot as thriller is part of our genre.
