Filming the burning photos

For our third filming session (Saturday the 26th of November) we collected the photos which had turned out clearest and burnt them in Phoebe's back garden.
In order to do this safely, we burnt the photos on a stone patio so they would not land on any flammable materials.
Filming began at around 5pm, as we needed to ensure it was dark enough to look like night-time, and also so the flames would stand out more and give the darkened surroundings a more mysterious atmosphere.
The photos we used were developed with a matte finish, so although light reflection was lessened considerably, we had to hold the torch we were using at a very particular angle so that the glare wouldn't be extremely obvious.
To burn the photos we used two lighters, as halfway through filming the first lighter stopped working, and we had to be extremely careful not to burn ourselves with either.
Our roles were as follows:
Phoebe - holding the torch
Myself - filming
Amara - burning the photos.
