After the fist shoot of my groups trailer, we decided that the scenes we filmed were not dark enough to fit the conventions of the horror genre, therefore had to re-film some of the scenes in the darkness. Due to the level of darkness once the sun had fully set it meant that we could not proceed with the filming because the camera could not pick up faces at all. This meant that we only had about a half an hour time slot from dusk till complete darkness to film, which meant the filming took place over two separate nights.
As well as the darkness being an issue in the first shoot, we also decided as a group that the character of 'Matt' who is played by my is unnecessary and would compromise the standard of the final product due to me playing two people in the film (Matt and The Unknown Figure). This now means that it is just the four teenagers in the woods who come across the the Unknown Figure. This also makes the film seem somewhat more tense and life like because it would be less people in the group which means they have a slimmer chance of surviving the dangerous situation.
