We originally said that we were going to book out a camera and a tri-pod during the Christmas holidays but we forgot to do so, we then found that one of us had a useable camera and tri-pod to shoot with. We spent the whole day shooting for our title sequence, it was a very cold windy day but we managed to get all the shots done we thought that it went very well. We had some trouble getting the fire started on the doll’s house at the beginning although once it had set fire it was at a really good flame although it was very windy we achieved some very well shots of the doll’s house that will be featured in our title sequence.  We were also having trouble with trying to set the pictures on fire but in the end we went into somewhere that was less windy for them shots as we wanted them to come out well. When we went out we made sure that we had everything that we thought would be needed on the day of shooting so we took a camera, tri-pod, storyboards and bottles of water, we thought that we would have needed the water to make our own stream but once we got to the woods we found a nice stream that fitted in perfectly with the shots that we needed. It was difficult to get the right type of shots that we wanted whilst we were in the woods as we needed to walk in the stream to get the right shot. It was a very eventful/productive day of filming for us but we got everything done and we thought everything came out very well and we were pleased at how the dolls had burnt as that was the main thing for our sequence as if that didn’t burn right then we wouldn’t of had anything as you can see that we put it all together ourselves to get the effect of it being an orphanage.
