1st Day of filming

  On wednesday we started filming. We planned on going to Asda and film a few shots in the cleaning isle for the beginning of our thriller. Unfortunately we were not able to film in there. We spoke to the people at the customer service desk and they told us we have to talk to the manager. After a long while of waiting a man came over. We were told that unfortunately we were not allowed to film there.

We then decided to go to Sainsbury's hoping that they let us film there. When we got there we approached a woman at the customer service desk. She called over another nice lady that told us we can film, but she told us not to take too long. We set up the equipment and started to film the first scene. After a few minutes a Sainsbury's worker asked us if we have gotten permission from the manager to film here. We were unsure if the lady was the manager, however we said we nodded to confirm we acquired a permission. He then walked away and jake continued to film Afsana in the cleaning isle. Me and Ryan were feeling uneasy because we were out of our comfort zone, filming in a shop while everyone was staring at us. A few shots later, a man came over to us. He said he was the manager and asked who gave us the permission to film. The others didn't really know what to say and so I quickly explained the situation to him and what exactly we are doing. He said that it is okay for us to film after we promised to hurry up.

When we finished at Sainsbury's, we walked out through the door to the car park to film a shot of Afsana leaving the shop. It was raining and we had to make sure the camera didn't get wet. We managed to avoid that by hiding under a roof. We then left the car park and walked to Jakes house to film the second part of our thriller. We got soaked by the rain. We started out by filming in the kitchen which is the first "room" you walk into. Jake filmed a few shots of Afsana, making sure that we have plenty to work with. Me and Ryan then tried to make fake blood. Our attempts failed. We have tried three different washing up liquid colours, and added red food colouring to each one. However for some reason the substance always ended up a brownish-purple colour.

We tried many things that we could mix together with the red dye and yet it always ended up looking wrong. After a few unsuccessful attempts, we gave up. The filming of the rest of our thriller had to be moved to another day.
