Planning around the weather

The biggest issue when planning was ensuring we filmed on a day when the weather wouldn't act as a hindrance. We needed a perfect balance of clouds and little sun in order to create a chilling setting. We hoped for a dull and overcast day with no rain or sun. As sun would make the film see more upbeat which is not suitable for our thriller and rain would act as a barrier to filming outside and be next to impossible to film anything outdoors. Another obstacle we faced with the weather was wind, which did in fact ultimately act as a problem as when watching our production back the noise of the wind made dialogue difficult to hear, and as we didn't have an external wind sock we had to utilise the microphone at school in order to make Rosie's dialogue clear and loud.
