first cut problems and changes

Today we finished our editting of our first scene of our opening. This is the scene where the girl is tied up in the chair. This was filmed in the school in the art department in a isolated looking room, which is vacant and plainly decorated. We haven't editting in the establishing shot of the house or the graphic match of the moon to the pearl necklace. We found that this went smoothly however we have realised, despite the fact we have spent about 50 minutes doing the filming, the actual scene came to about 15 seconds. This is a big realisation for us as we need to take into consideration how much time we do need to complete our 2 minutes.

Moreover it was a struggle to find a time when our characters would be able to come for filming as if they do not have the time to take out to help us/ act for us then it will push forward filming to another time. Moreover it is difficult with actors as we need to use the same actors the entire time, therefore if they are not able to act then we cannot film as it wouldn't work to just incorporate a new actress/ actor randomly. Therefore we need to make sure they are available well in advance.

As well as this we are filming in a darkroom at the start- but we didn't have night vision camera with us therefore we used the torch on our camera as a way to light up the room and shine on the girl's face- this actually worked really well as it ended up looking like something out of "quarantine". Quarantine is filmed entirely by a camera man therefore making it more believable for audience- almost like a real life documentary (true story).

We then decided on the idea that the girl would be being filmed by the man, therefore being a point of view shot from the camera. Therefore when we go to shoot the scene again, this is the idea we will try out and see if it works effectively.
