The third day of shooting would consist of us picking up the shots we missed during the first few days due to time constraints and the actor's schedules, decided that we needed to get some more shots of Phil's character reacting to the cataclysm and then we needed to get shots outside in the yard and in the back alley, for the scene in which Phil's character meets his dealer and then goes away to take some cocaine. We once again started by having Christi apply Phil's makeup then we got straight to filming the scenes, this proved immediately difficult as we had come straight after college and were losing light outside very quickly, the problem wasn't the darkness, as that was what we needed for the scene, the problem was the alternating amounts of light in the scenes. I combated this problem by adjusting the exposure for each of the shots I was responsible for and Alex did the same thing, all in order to make it look even. We completed both yard shots and the back alley shots rather quickly, which meant we could quickly get on with the very last interior shots.
For the interior shots we just needed more footage of Phil's character running through the house whilst it shakes and the furniture and ornaments fall all around him, we found that making everything fall and shake was going to prove far too time consuming and wasn't really a feasible effect to pursue at such a late stage in production. Instead we just filmed him running through the house, later we would add shaking effects to the footage and along with the sound effects we were sure this would sell that fact there's something terrible going on outside. With that done we'd finally acquired all the footage we needed and full editing could commence.
