Reshooting:

When we uploaded the footage onto the computers at college, and looked through it, we saw that there were a few shots we still needed to get. We borrowed the camera again, and got any more shots that we thought were necessary.
For example, the scene where the character is on the floor with her head in her hands; we noticed that we needed a close up of her face when she hears the loud bang coming from the kitchen. We didn’t have any shots that would work, even though we had a close up of her eyes, they were already being used and didn’t fit with the shots around them. We got a reshot of the cat, because she wasn’t co-operating when we first tried to film the scene with her in. We got the shots we needed and also the sound effects.

We used the microphone that we got from college and connected it to the camera.
We took sound effects of the door creaking (holding the mic to the hinges of the door), the door slamming upstairs and the loud bang coming from the kitchen.
Because we didn’t want to risk damaging Holly’s floor by dropping a saucepan on it from a height, we went into the garden, held up a metal tray and dropped it onto a pile of tiles.
It made exactly the noise we wanted.

We then realised after we had finished, that in fact the mic was switched off for the whole time we were filming. So we had to go back and do it again, it was a silly mistake, and one we did laugh about, because it was typical of us to overlook such a simple thing.

Problems:
When we had our footage done and edited it, we showed a couple of people to ask for their opinion. One thing that we struggled with is once we mentioned the car, the said they didn’t realise that it was actually a cat, maybe it was because the cat didn’t move too much on the side, and she is really fluffy.

On the Tuesday night that we did the reshoots, I couldn’t find my brown leather jacket that we had used to shoot all of the outside scenes and some of the inside. We did have the shots we needed with the jacket, but thought that some of them could be improved. Because I couldn’t find it, it meant we couldn’t get the shots and we would just have had to make do with the ones we had.
As it turned out, we had too many shots as it was (we had to cut our final scene down from over four minutes, to fit within the time limit, because we had a lot of footage to work with), so we wouldn’t have used the reshoots we would have done if I had my jacket anyway.
