The aim for our first filming session was to get the beginning 15 seconds laid down that we could work with and begin to progress with our project. This part of the film was set in the corridor/stairs, where the camera tracks along the dead bodies in the dark, lit up artificially by lamp shades. As a group we realised that we could use new shots such as close ups and mid shots to create more variety and engage the audience, reducing the repetition. The location is a basement; therefore we wanted the lighting to be high-key artificial lighting, when filming it was noticed that the shots were dark and blurry because we were shooting in a dark room. We therefore had to re-evaluate the shot to solve this problem. We came up with an idea to use a lamp which was enough artificial light to brighten up the corridor so that the bodies of the actors could be seen clearly to the audience in this scene.
Aspects to consider next time:
When we next film, we must make sure that we carry on using a variety of shots. This is so the film is more engaging, whilst improving our marks for the film because we are showing that we can use a numerous amount of shot types and distances.
Also, our next filming session should have suitable lighting to aid the quality of our final piece. This means lighting should be bright enough to see whats happening in the shot but dark enough to stay within the scary, tense atmosphere often created in horror movies.
Lastly, as we wasted time sortin and correcting the lighting, we wasted time. So next time, our group should plan our filming time efficiently so we get more filming completed and push on futher with our project.
