First day of shooting.

Our first day of filming was very successful as we got all of the footage of the park scene we needed but we didn't anticipate how time consuming it would be, because we thought we would be able to shoot the shadow scene as well.
However we chose the park scene location to be filmed in Gnosall park as it looked like your typical colourful playpark so the asthetics were perfect, and it had lots of children running around because we filmed in the February half-term.
The park was also surrounded by fields and trees, so it was the ideal setting for the child to be on the swing as you couldn't see the road or any houses surrounding it.
The child actress we used was called Teylor, we wanted her to be in our film playing the innocent child because she had the look we wanted, which was long flowing hair, and a pale complextion. She had to swing on one of the parks swings, as we took lots of different angled shots of her doing so, these ranged from long shots to close up shots of just her face.

We had planned to use Georginas garden summer house to film the shadow scene, as the playhouse was relatively dirty and old, however we didn't end up filming the second location's set of scenes because we didn't have any time left so we had to re-arrange a second filming session which fitted in with everyones scheduals.
