Evaluation of Day: 4th January 2013

Filming of the Protagonist

We started the day by working with our protagonist as she is the character that is most exposed to the audience. The first two shots above were two photos taken by myself of our protagonist (Eden) on location in full costume. This was our first day of filming with both our characters on set. We focused most of our attention towards the protagonist as the plot follows her mostly. The picture on the top right shows Rebecca filming Eden (protagonist) staring at a tomb stone just. As you can see from the picture we chose a narrow and desolate path to shoot from highlighting the loneliness and misery of Eden's character. We also decided to get 5 shots of every scene at different angles therefore having a choice when it comes to the editing process.

The picture opposite shows the camera filming our protagonist (Eden). We positioned the camera at a high angle as the scene started with Eden running from afar, therefore as she come further towards the camera the audience are able to see her emotions.

The tension of our opening is hopefully going to come across in our chase scene. To get a better impression we had Eden hold the camera whilst jogging down a path therefore giving a point of view shot for the audience.

Filming with the antagonist

Whilst Eden's filming was coming to an end, Rebecca and myself concentrated on testing Anna (antagonist) on film. We also go her to hold the camera and jog down a path to see if there were any drastic filming issues between herself and Edens turn previously. Anna was not in costume, as our focus was primarily on Eden. Instead we had Anna mark her positions and get an all round feel of how the story line would pan out once filmed therefore giving her a rough idea of what to do during filming.

In terms of sound we too focused ont he horror element of our opening and incorporated the sound of the traditional scream heard in most horror movies with our location.

Overall, the second day of filming was a lot more promising than the first, the weather was a lot better and we had a better idea of the location as a whole therefore we were able to do exactly what we wanted without fail.
