Comment on the filming experience

Filming for my horror trailer was not the first time I had filmed outside and I feel that experience from filming my AS film. However, it was the first time I had filmed in a public place. I found this to be quite and interesting experience, and I enjoyed it a lot.
There were a few shots that I am rather proud of (mainly the ones viewing the feet of the zombie) and I am pleased with the way that they came out. I am also proud of my use of initiative, as we lacked a tripod dolly and there were shopping trollies at hand, I decided to get into a trolley and film as I was moved around by one of my actors.
There was one shot, however that I would really have liked to redo. I attempted to shoot the elevator doors closing on my lead male as he tries to get in, and I had taken over 15 failed shots, but eventually the guard requested we stop filming in the lifts. Though we had phoned ahead and were granted permission to shoot in the lifts, that particular shot took too long and I was unable to capture it at acceptable standards, eventually running over our agreed time limit as the lift needed to be reopened to the public. All of this aside, I am happy with the way I managed to link different shots together to show that the doors closed on the lead male.
