Hello, this blog covers all the research and planning into our slasher film opening, Camp Ivy. Co-produced with Kate and Millie, and influenced from films such as Friday the 13th and set in a rural location inspired by Eden Lake.

Micro drama Shoot

On one day in half term our micro drama group went to shoot our footage. We filmed in the order of what happens starting with a live news report. As the drama also ends with a news report it made sense for us to film both reports at the same time then continue in order of shots of the main drama.

However, when filming we did come across a few problems. The first of these was the amount of people in the park during the day. We hadn't thought about the fact that it would be half term and there would be a lot of children and parents in the park so there was a lot of background noise and it was hard trying to avoid having people in the edge of shots.

Another problem we had was that the video camera we were using to film ran out of battery before we had finished filming. Luckily someone Hannah has an iphone 4s and they have HD video camera on them so the quality of the last part of filming was still very good.

Overall I think our micro drama shoot went very well and I think that was mainly due to us planning it quite well and knowing exactly what we had to shoot. But we should have double checked the battery on the camera before starting.
