The second day (well first day of planned filming) went very well...
We prepared the costumes (white t-shirts stained in blood), they came out very effective and realistic looking. We then constructed our set down in the basement using two barrels and a piece of cardboard along with our props.

I think that the set we made looked realistic and effective, the lighting inside the basement was also exactly what we were looking for as it was dimly lit with ceiling panel lights. We attempted a few shots with the additional flash light but it looked to much like a spot light in the dark so we decided to film without it.
We took a number of shots following the storyboard, i particularly liked the extreme close up's of the girl's (Olivia's) face because they reveal her facial expression adding to the tension. We took point of view shots from Olivia's viewpoint and I also liked the effect these had - I can imagine adding some non-diagetic deep breathing noises to create a sense of being in her position.
We stuck to the story board but also compromised by trying out some extra shots when we felt it was ncessary, overall we stuck to timings well getting everything finished within the 3 hour lesson and got all the shots we needed and more to a high standard. I feel there is no need for us to re-film this scene.
