Filming - Olivia and Ettie

Here are some photos of us doing our thriller opening filming and of our lighting set up on Wednesday 5th March:

                               

When filming outside, we did find that the area was quite muddy -due to the recent weather- However we tried to place the tripod, and ourselves in areas of less mud, to ensure that the equipment was safe and we didn't get too muddy! But we couldn't change the position of our camera too much as then this would alter the shot angle/position of where we aimed to film.

Here is a photo of us filming the extreme close up, and I have placed the animatic storyboard shot next to it to show on how we intended the shot to look like. I think that this worked out on how we intended it to look like.

 

 The last image is our lighting set up: we had a fill light and a key light on to illuminate the subjects face and to eliminate some of the yellow tones created by the light bulbs indoors. We did not need a back light as the subject was placed in front of a door.  

One continuity issue that we did have, was that we filmed both the indoor shots last when itwas dark outside. This therefor meant that the light would be different. However we tried to overcome this by using more extra lighting to add light to the room, and we may use post-production editing to add extra brightness/ change in colour if needed. We also made sure that the actor (Rosanna) did not open the door for wider than necessary to leave, as if it was opened too wide the area outside would obviously be dark and would easily show to the audience that it was nigh time. If left visible this could confuse the viewer and give a false sense of time passing.
