Film shoot - 11/01/15 - 1.00pm - 4.30pm
- We held this shoot at an outer house/barn next to Callum's house.
- This has proved to be a very effective location as the mise-en-scene we have been able to set up creates a creepy atmosphere. We all worked for a long time period getting everything into the best positions and placements.
- I was in charge of filming and we focused on the scenes which involve our actress (the young girl).
- We got many effective shots, for example, her in the centre of the pentangle, appearing and also looking out the window as the 2 male characters walk away.
- I helped to do the makeup on our actress, darkening under her eyes in order for her to appear more hellish.
- Also, I was responsible for the filming equipment we were using on the shoot as I bought much of it with me.
- We used our storyboard to ensure we didn't miss any crucial shots and this also made it easier for us to not shoot chronologically as we knew what would be following.
- It also helped with getting a range of angles as we were able to plan where we would use a range of them prior.
- We have faced the challenge of lighting in our shoot, the first time we attempted to film it was far too dark so you were unable to see anything and we, therefore, were unable to use any of this footage. (see below)
- This has also had an effect on our focusing as we now know to use manual focus instead of auto.
- Another way we have overcome this is by using a reflector to make it brighter along with torches.
- Mainly we have had to have our shoots earlier in the day as it is easier to edit our footage to appear darker than the reverse.
- We intend to continue doing this in our next shoots and also attempt to get a better range of shot positioning as we have many mid shots and not a large amount of variation.
Well done Hannah, detailed comments
