Difficulties - Filming

We had various difficulties when filming which included the setting that we used, and the lighting. 

Setting
It was difficult to film within the church stairs as they are very narrow, steep and dark. As we got further and further up the space became more enclosed and narrower and not very much room to move. Luckily we did manage to use this to our advantage. The main character is meant to be frightening and weird due to the plot. So we used the steep and narrow surroundings to convey the character walking very awkwardly, therefore getting the clips that we needed. 

Lighting
When we first entered the steps, it was very very dark, and we were unable to see anything through the camera, therefore we had to go further up the stairs, which effected how much space we had. There was more light when we got closer to the top, but still not enough for the character to be seen clearly, so we used some battery candles to add more light to the scene. This helped as there was not too much light, still creating a creepy and dark setting, but just enough so everything could be seen clearly.
