Second day of Filming

Today we had a few things which we had to film.

1. The victims interview
We found an empty office in the ground floor of the common room building which was perfect as there was just a chair and a desk against a white wall. Olivia found a spotlight at her house (I didnt get a photo so this was taken by Olivia) which originally we placed behind Lydia on the desk with the light facing towards the camera but because of the intensity of the light we found that the desired effect could actually be achieved just by having the light directed at the wall with the rest of the lights in the room turned off. We used a tripod to capture the shot. The shot gave the exact look that we wanted and you can only see Lydia's silhouette.



2. The friends interview
For the interview in which I played the friend of the victim, we used the same room but just the other side of it. The shot was taken on a tripod with me at the side of the shot.

3. The attack
We filmed Elliot attacking Lydia on the ground of the carpark in 2 different positions and a from a few different angles. We got a high angle shot of them and some other regular 2-shots. The lighting wasn't very good as it was already getting dark outside and as we were filming behind the skip it was blocking out what little light there was. I did shine a torch from my phone onto the scene as it was being filmed but it did little to help. Hopefully we will be able to fiddle with the effects somehow and make it slightly lighter so that the viewer can see what's going on. Below is a picture of what we filmed to show how dark it is.
