During our filming process we had to keep to a tight schedule, since a small yet vital proportion of our film was shot outside and the weather at the time had been, at best, unreliable. On the day of our filming we were blessed with a darkly clouded sky with the sun just shining though, which made for a good setting since we could film our protagonist walking in the sunlight, which would increase the sense of innocence about her. And in other shot we could film our Point of View shots from the shade, which helps to show the mysterious and dark thoughts which would be running through our antagonists mind.
Since we managed to complete the outdoor filming in one day it made it easier to maintain the shots and continuity. But, towards the end of editing we felt that certain parts could be improved and/or expanded which worried us since the weather had since changed and frost was starting to set in, shortly followed by snow.
Luckily we managed to use the shots in a slightly different manner which made them work better than we had initially planned, which also meant we did not have to risk ruining the continuity of our production by filming more outdoor shots in different conditions which we would have to try and hide. This would also have put the quality of shots at risk since they may have to be filmed differently and may not be as effective.
