Third Shooting Hour

On Thursday the 19th of November, both myself and Ferne gathered Joe and Talia together to film the shots that are of Sophie discovering images off Bowe's computer and the shot at the front door at the end with Sophie's sister (Juliet). Initially me and Ferne had planned to do the shot of Sophie sitting watching a TV and finding a DVD and Bowe's T shirt, putting the DVD into the TV and crabbing quickly from an over the shoulder shot of Sophie watching the DVD to the facial expressions of Sophie and Bowe out of focus standing in the doorway behind her. But due to the fact that me and Ferne couldn't find a DVD for the character Sophie to be watching we decided to change it to her looking at his laptop. We then sourced images from various places such as a previous horror film called 'Murder Set Pieces'. We filmed in the same location that the scenes where Sophie s tied up and beaten in, to add continuity and so that the audience can recognise the location. It also appears as a domestic setting, which from our questionnaire we discovered that our audience would find most scary. We sourced these images from the Internet as obviously we wouldn't of been able to create them ourselves, but they are vital in portraying our plot and genre. Due to limitations on the equipment we had available to us, unfortunately our crabbing wasn't very steady as we had to improvise and use what was available to us. We therefore fashioned a dolly out of a tripod and a small desk with wheels. But again we feel this wasn't steady enough and didn't create our desired effect so we decided to cut the crab. As the cameras lenswasn't wide enough we where unable to create our shot that we desired and therefore had to change our pan slightly to make it so that we could go from an over the shoulder shot looking over Sophie's shoulder to a shot looking at Bowe in the doorway. We also decided to remove the shot of Sophie finding a bloodied t shirt as we felt once we started to film it, it didn't look right and didn't actually add anything to our trailer so we decided to cut it. We then began filming our second shot that we where going to film by the front door of my house. This shot is of Sophie's sister (Juliet) getting to the door and Bowe opening the door with a knife behind his back. We had initially planned to do a distant shot where you can see Bowe answering the door and see Juliet on the other side of the door way, but when we tried to do this, you could not see Juliet at all and therefore we decided to improvise and film from a higher angle where you could see better. We felt this looked more effective as it gave Juliet less status and authority implying she is weaker than Bowe.
