acount of shooting day

We all met first thing in the morning on the day of the shoot, we didn’t begin shooting right away because we thought it was best to talk through our idea ones more to make sure we were all happy with the location, actors roles and organized shots. We decide to change some things around such as actress’s role and planed ways of shooting changing from shooting in POV the vast majority of the time to making the sequence more interesting by using a range of shots such as wide shots close ups and using steady cam with are all harder to achieve and less effective if the full sequence is filmed in POV.
We didn’t change our location although we did need a sink in our shots which had to appear in the same room as the showers, unfortunately in the shower room we chose there was no sink so we had to use the boys bathroom next door which had been decorated in the same style and make the sink seem as if it was in the shower room. We did this by having the actress walk around a corner shot in a wide shot and then cut to her washing her hands in the sink. We needed this shot to show that the killer is blood thirsty with no remorse.

Once we got to our location we sorted out where to place the camera to achieve the best possible range of shots that were possible in the small space we had to work in.
The first sequence we filmed was the shower bathroom one with the actor in the shower and the girl walking in to murder him. After that was finished we then moved on to the sink scene of the actress washing her hands. After our lunch break we filmed our corridor shots of the actress walking down dark hallways and up stairs.
Some of the shots we used in filming were long shots because at first we only see our killer from behind trying to hide her identity by showing her walking down long corridors from a distance to show we are leaving our audience guessing about her identity, if she is going to kill him or going to seduce him in the shower. , close ups
Close ups because once we had established to two characters together (the killer and victim) within the same room we wanted to make the connection in the difference in emotion between the two characters, showing the victim to be oblivious to her presence in the room whilst he is naked and vulnerable, in contrast to her being completely aware of the situation she is in which puts her in a position of control to the audience.
, hand heldHand held because in the opening sequence it was a perfect way to hide our killer identity and yet stay personal to her by it being a pov shot which makes the audience feel more involved with the scene and makes the sequence more exiteing it also tell the audience , extreme close ups, establishing and pov.
