At first we had no idea what the kind of film we wanted as we kept on tossing darts at ideas; I was thinking of a supernatural horror; Kieran thought of a possession film; Callum thought of a gory film. My idea was mostly sealed as I gave valid points and description of what we could do. We decide on our idea being an adaptation on European folklore, as it would benefit our set locations. After goggling several web pages with different: characters, stories, meanings, and morals we found Wild hunt and we liked the idea of a supernatural slashed antagonist.

When we were filming we found the script more useful than the storyboard because we had difficulties trying to grasp the concept of what was asked to do, so we mostly improvised with what we could do. This did result in a few screw-ups without a plan but we where able to make a decent film. We also had to change the script twice because some people could not make the filming, or simply because the footage had to be changed.

Before we started filming we had to consider test footage because we had no idea what we where gonna do to start filming. We started filming we started to do test footage at certain times and places; these where the opportunities that where presented to us that helped us get locations and time placements.

When we finished I as well as everyone else where most proud of the final product that we finished together as this has now assisted in helping us get general ideas of making a film. As we worked on different sections of making the film we each had our own individual jobs that we enjoyed; Kieran enjoyed filming and editing; Callum enjoyed acting and cooperation with others; and I enjoyed "killing everyone" and finding the music. But for all we have done we should have really balanced the dialog that was spoken by others because it was pretty much none existent.
