Filming: time and progress

Filming: time and progress.

on the first day of filming we managed to complete the filming of the flashbacks that the dead girl will experience in our opening sequence to a horror film. It was essential to finish these as soon as possible before moving on to filming the other character in the opening sequence to a film because the flashbacks had to show the character in normal costume of jeans, a top and natural make-up. We filmed these in the living room and based it around the Christmas tree and decorations as this showed that the young girl once lived a happy family oriented life but she experience a trauma which lead to here stalking the main character that now lives in the house hence why the title of the opening sequence to a horror film is called ‘our house’

Secondly we filmed the other main character who is the main protagonist girl called sally we used a variety of shot types so when we edit our opening sequence we can cut and add together different shot types and lengths to get the desired effects to make our film eye-catching. We used a long shot to establish the setting of this character as she is lay in her bed unaware of the horror that is about to face her when she makes her way downstairs to investigate the noise as well as a close-up shot to show her emotions and reactions to the noises in her house and a high angle shot to achieve the effect of someone looking down on her (the dead girl who will appear later in the opening sequence).

We wanted to film the outside of the house and the surrounding setting on the first day of filming however it was raining and so we thought we would leave this filming until a later date where we can get a better camera quality and therefore make it look as professional as we hope it to be.
