All actors and crew were present and on time at the meeting place.
Tasks to be done:
Establishing shots of the area
Happy scene of Anna and Eden
Anna's possession (benches & trees)
Bench scene
Establishing shots of the area:
When we arrived at Hall Place we needed to take a few establishing shots of the area, for example having Anna and Eden walk past the house, to set the scene and inform the audience where we were.
We did this by having the camera on the tripod and by using long shots of Anna and Eden so we could get the house in the background of the shot and so we could see all of it.
Happy scene of Anna and Eden:
When creating the opening we realised that we needed shots of Anna and Eden happily together, showing that they had a loving sisterly relationship and something must have really pushed Eden to kill her own sister if they got on so well. To show this we had close up shots of their faces while they were talking as it would mean that the audience would be at an intimate distance from the actors and they would be portrayed as rather close as they were also at an intimate distance.
Anna's possession (benches & trees):
In order to show Anna's possession we had her jump of different benches one at a time, so we could (in our editing process) cut them up and mix the scenes together along with a clip of Anna walking up to the river (foreshadowing her death) to show her possession (or Eden's insanity)
We also had Anna run around a perfect circle of trees, however we decided not to involve this in our actual opening as it was not suitable and didn't portray our message clear enough.
Bench scene:
We filmed a scene with Anna running off and leaving Eden confused to show the progression from the happy scenes to the possessed scene, in this we had medium shots of the two and did panning shots of Anna running off. However we ended up discarding this shots as they were not clear enough.
Overall:
To sum up we managed to get some essential filming into this day and it was worth the time spent.
