When filming we had to make sure we knew what we were doing, we took a digital camera and tripod into Cannock and began filming with the people we had. We would always do more than one shot of a certain scene just to see which one was better. And before that we would do a practice run through so we knew what we were doing. It was extremely important to us that we got everything as close to perfection as we could. So I particularly would spend up to 2 minutes trying to get the camera level and in the right position so we would have the most intense scenes. Something we wanted most of all was non shaky camera angles that meant using the tripod almost all times, apart from the running sequence I think we pulled it off. With the picture on the right especially we needed to explain exactly what to do because Alex didn't know where to go, how to move or anything like that so I had to show her the movements she'd make and then do a practice run of what she'd do. There were scenes where me and Ben were on camera at the same time so we would hand it over to either Sean or Ben's Mum, to make sure we didn't waste time or film we walked them through exactly what we wanted to happen. For still shots and the like we would yell freeze or stop when we wanted them to just hold position this gave us an idea of the actors movements in the filming.
