First session: (Old sequence) For our first session of filming, Evie Mullahy and Louise Jarvis went to Physicals gym to film the self video of Louise (the victim) walking out of the gym, and the villian following where she went, this worked well and we done two shots of this so we can choose the best one, however our first shot we saw we left the umbrella on the floor, so we chose to use the second shot. For the next part of the sequence we wanted to get a shot of Louise walking in to an alley way so this would create an isolated setting which fits the conventions of a thriller. We tried this shot several times from different angles, and we had some complications for example there was people coming through the alleyway at one particular time. However, the weather was good for our genre as it was raining which showed a negative setting. We then thought that we recorded over the first lot of footage coming out of the gym so we had to go back and re film that, however, the lighting was correct, luckily we realised that we didn't film over it.
Second Session: (Old sequence) For our second session, Evie Mullahy and Louise Jarvis, filmed the part of the film where the villian is looking in the mirror and getting ready to capture the girl and also when he has captured the girl, and he is in the shed and toturing her. We filmed this at Evies house, Phil was our villian and we prepared by doing all the makeup for both of the characters. We found it hard to film as we had no tripod, as we used a different camera which wouldn't fit on to the tripod. Overall, the session worked quite well, and we were very pleased with all parts of mise-en-scene and the footage that we collected.
Third Session: (Old sequence) For our third session, we all worked together here, and our objective was to show that the villian had been stalking the victim for some time, we printed out about 30 pictures of Louise who was the victim and cut them out, drew on them and stuck them to a piece of wood in Evies shed. This footage was very time consuming as it took a long time to gather all of the pictures, however when we eventually filmed it, we felt it looked really effective and we achieved our objective.
Fourth Session: (New sequence) As previously explained in another post in the blog, we felt that we should re film our sequence and change the story line as there was not enough content. So for 2 hours, Evie Mullahy, Louise Jarvis and Jamie Hutton, re filmed a different sequence. Our villian was Marie Browning, it took half an hour for us to eventually start filming as we had to create the correct lighting, so we stuck black sandpaper on the walls so that we could create a midnight effect, we also had to organise the office, we made it look like the teacher was very messy and also in a very stressful position by putting papers everywhere on the desk. This filming session was pinochle as we needed to complete all filming by the end. We felt we worked really well as a group and all contributed to all decisions that we made and made sure everyone was happy so that we didn't make the same mistake again.
Fifth Session: (New sequence) This session of filming was not planned, as we thought we captured all footage, however, when we put it on to the computers to start editing we found that the shots were all just a little bit too short, so we had to re-film bits. Evie Mullahy and Louise Jarvis were the ones filming this session, and we filmed a total of 8 shots. This was hard to do as we had to make sure that every aspect of mise-en-scene was correct from when we previously filmed. However with the lighting this time it was much more beneficial as it was dark outfit which is what we wanted to achieve. It took about half an hour to film the final few scenes, and we were extremely pleased that we re-filmed again.
