Most Haunted Spoof



okay so, we finished shooting and editing the most haunted spoof and uploaded it. The end result was funny and exactly what we wanted, Everyone seemed to enjoy it =]
It took a lot of time and hard work but we got there in the end and its was worth it.

Our original group consisted of 4 people but unfortunately half way through filming Michelle left the sixth form, so we were down a member and had to carry on the best we could. Michelle was originally filming so we had to drop a character to allow myself to carry on with the filming.
We had some issues with the cameras and shooting our material. The first camera we used only did clips of 10 seconds, which became frustrating. We changed it to film to the tape rather than the card and this solved the problem.

After a few sessions of filming we discovered somebody had filmed over some of our material and therefore had to go back and re-do some parts. This didn't take long as they only filmed over a short section of our film and it was easy to cut out during the editing process.
As we had limited time each day to film sections, our clothes changed in each part, this made it difficult during editing but to our advantage it became funny to see this sudden change of clothes.

Next time we would spend longer on our planning and put more effort into it as this would help us during filming. Many parts of our film were suddenly made up on the spot but turned out well.
My advice for others would be, make sure you plan well and really think about what you're doing. A lot of the time you forget that you are supposed to be using certain angles and shots.
