Filming

I needed to complete my filming on two different occasions, due to lighting. The attack of the girl needed to be filmed at night and the scenes of the girl walking and the man driving needed to be filmed in the daylight.

I was going to film the girl being attacked (scene 1 and 4) in this alley way. However the weather delayed my filming. The actress would of had to sit and lie on the floor which would have been unfair to make her do in this wether.

I gave these to my actor who was doing my voice over for me. He recorded his voice on the video camera whilst reading the script I gave him. This worked successfully.

This sheet was a rough shooting script that I used on the days of filming. I found this better to use that my neat, final shooting script as it was all on one piece of paper.

I started filming at 8:30am for the driving part (scene 2). The weather was perfect for this scene due to the mist. I thought this created a brilliant atmosphere to shoot in as it gave my shots a more mysterious tone to them.

Unfortunately one of my lights didn't work for my scene of the attack in the dark. Luckily I rented out two pieces of lighting equipment from college, so I did still achieved what I wanted to achieve.

Something that went well was the filming in the car. I thought it might be difficult to get good, clear shots as it could have been hard to hold the camera still, however the outcome was much better than expected. This shows that my cinematography skills have developed since beginning the media course.
