Filming our thriller so far is going extremely well! Phoebe, Libby and I work brilliantly as a team! We have all been reliable and always turned up on time and fully equipped. My role has been mainly to act as Abigail, however I have tried to get involved in as much filming and directing as possible. Phoebe has done a lot of filming and directing and Libby has mostly filmed and helped with lighting. We have all come together as a group and have almost finished filming the thriller.
This has been an excellent experience for me, I have learned a lot about using a camera and creating the right lighting. We have all had a lot of experience in filming and editing and feel confident about it. I feel that throughout filming we have become more confident in trying new things and find it easier to come up with ideas.
We have come across many issues along the way also. It has been very difficult making sure that Scott (played by Libby's dad) is always available. As he arrives home last from work, it has been very difficult to get the right lighting, often we have had to use torches and lamps to overcome the lighting issue. We also had to get rid of our original idea of smashing the wine bottle, as it would be too dangerous and messy! This was very disappointing for me, as I felt it would be a fantastic shot of red wine running down the path cross dissolved with the shot of my blood going down the plug hole. However, we have overcome this issue by using flowers. Although this isn't as thrilling as our original idea, it still works well.

You may wish to explain problems on the shoot as well, this will in no way lower your marks. Professional directors tend to experience difficulties on shoots and during the edit.
