Production Day 1-3

The first three days were a little challenging but in a good way, i wasn't present for the second day but attended the other two. The first day we started to plan our first shoot as we already had the script and the storyboards. We used I-stop motion to create a sense of ghost like writing on a white board. This idea was thought by Amy, which well give our film the more unique feel.
