For our Thriller we filmed over 3 days in various locations including in Selhurst (Cafe and the street), South Norwood ( train station), Nikita's house ( the stalkers hideaway) and Rebecca's house.
The filming went quite well, although for the last day of shooting one team member wasn't present which didn't cause major problems, but wasn't beneficial to us. We made sure we got a wide of variety of shots of each scene so that when it came to editing we would have alot to choose from. For the scene where the stalker is putting up pictures we possibly had too many takes of it, as when we had to log and capture we had more than enough. We used our initiative in situations such as not having lighting equipment so consequently we used a lamp in the stalker board scenes, which in fact looked even better than if we had had a proper expensive lighting kit.As an individual i feel that i played a significant part in there filming process, making sure I participated wherever necessary, such as doing lighting, a bit of directing and filming for example i filmed most of the cafe scene and filmed some scenes of the stalker although the stalker scenes i filmed werent included in the final edit.
We all used our strengths to our advantage and helped each other when we found weaknesses, but all made sure we took turns to do each role. Our actors were fairly good, and took orders well so we weren't behind with filming.
If I was to do anything differently I would have done a few more shots in some scenes rather than keep trying to get it perfect on one shot for example the over shoulder of Rebecca which i filmed more than 5 times to get right.
I don't think we used the camera to its full potential as we never really paid much attention to changing the filters etc manually, but were lucky enough for it to come out looking good.

If we were offered a choice of extra equipment , and extra camera would have been beneficial as with one camera we had to redo scenes from different angles in order for us to get good continuity.
