Second Day of Filming

On 16th November we filmed first half of our opening sequence. We filmed from 4:30pm-6:30pm for lighting purposes as we wanted the windows in the background to show that it was the evening. Even though the main character, me,  kills Yasmin by suffocating her, we used fake blood to show that she was already injured. The audience can assume that she was injured by the knife I put in my bag in the second half of the opening sequence.

Once we filmed we uploaded all our footage to the Mac.

First day of filming

We filmed for the first time today and overall, it took almost 2 hours. We filmed from 1pm-3pm as we wanted to use natural light coming in through windows. Morgan did most of the filming, Yasmin helped direct and I acted. We were filming the second half of our opening sequence at my house, and we had to film this half first because the clothes Yasmin and I wear get blood on them in the first half, which we did not want in the second half. We used our paper and youtube storyboard to remind of us what scenes we had to shoot.

First we filmed from the beginning of this half, with the camera zooming out of my eye. The lighting where we were wasn't great, so we used a LED camera light borrowed from school.

 This made the shot brighter, and it allowed the camera to zoom closer and stay in focus.


For one of the shots Morgan was filming from the top of the stairs for a high angle shot, however she couldn't just hold the camera as her hand was shaking. Therefore, she used a stabiliser and this made the shot steady.

We will film the first half of our opening sequence on Monday 14th November 2016 after school.

Mise-en-scene

In the bathroom the only extra things we will add is the blood. This is because in the story we are unaware of how the girls ended up in the bathroom and this means that it is not their bathroom. Therefore it is just a normal bathroom and the only added things is what the girls bought with them.

At the girls house it will be normal daily items around such as a cup of tea and a bag. We are also having my brother there to represent a casual, normal family house so that it doesn't look suspicious. We will also be having a knife come out of a wooden table and this knife is put into a bag. This is a type of foreshadowing as we have already seen that she kills someone but does this by suffocating her, so it is a mystery to the audience as to when the knife comes into play.

Script

For our opening sequence we didn't have a script as there will be no talking, only movement. For that aspect we directed what to do when it was needed.
