Filming.

Throughout the two weeks of our Easter holidays, we have used our time productively by filming our thriller project.

Using the location shown in the previous blog, Tara, Grace and myself managed to complete the filming part of our coursework. We also used a park, again, near my house; which is where our 'past, happy scenes' were set.
However, we did come across some minor problems with our set, as the church location did not fully accomodate what we needed to be able to fulfill our plans. The idea was to have the murderer sitting on the bench in front of the church, whilst later having the dead girl/victim appear standing behind the bench and murderer. This was a problem because the bench was secured just millimetres in front of a big bush, so there was no way that we could film the situation as we had planned, so we just had to adjust the positioning slightly. We feel it still has the same effect though.

After much more thought into the final product, we realised that, for the sequences to make as much sense to the audience as it did for us; we needed to add in extra shots which hint at the murderer killing the innocent girl - but not actually showing it fully of course.

With this filming now complete, all that is now left to do is to edit the final scenes and then add sounds (diegetic and non-diegetic) on top. This will take place once we return back to school on monday.
