500 Analysis on first week of filming

This week our group did not do a great amount of filming. Since most of the filming will take place at Steph's house, we could not do it in the college but test shots around the college defiantely helped just so we could get an idea of what type of shots and if it could work. The one shot that will not take place at the house will be at Adenbrookes hospital. We chose a corridor which looks abandoned and morbid which, fits our genre well. We could not do test shots there since we alreday asked to do our main filming there. Instead we chose a corridor in the college and filmed it as we would have when we film in Adenbrookes. We did not have any troubles when we were filming the corridor because we already figured out what type of shot we specifically wanted which, was a slow pan out. We chose this because it makes it seem eerie and mysterious. We also wanted to test another shot which takes place in a bathroom and involves reflection. When we were doing our test shot, we thought about how we could do it because the more we thought about it the more it seemed hard to hide the camera equipment. The idea was that the audience sees the reflection of the kidnapper which meant filming the mirror but also meaning that the audience would see the camera. We could have tried it out in the toilets but Daniel would not have been able to enter the girls toilets and vise versa. So that is why on Tuesday, we will be meeting early and dedicating a whole day on filming in the house so that if certain ideas do not work out, then we can quikly think up of other ideas as it will be the only time we have for filming in her house. Next week Tuesday is when the filming will begin in the house, on a Wednesday we plan to go to Adenbrookes and film the corridor. So in those two days our filming should be done leaving time to edit and complete our opening sequence and soundtrack as best as we can.
