Shoot on the 18th

This went really well, managed to shoot all of the different shots I intended, plus more of different angles so that when it comes to editing, I can pick which angle works best. For example when Jo was walking down the corridor, I took a low angled, of just her feet, and an over the shoulder in order to give me variety and a choice when I edit. The hardest part was filming the transitions between shots, so that it looked believable and not too jumpy. Also when I followed Jo into the bathroom, as there was a large mirror inside, I had to film her feet walking in, as if I held the camera up, i could see myself filming in the mirror!
I was really pleased with how the light looked on the camera, it was much less subtle than how it appeared on my stills camera. However, in the last scene inside the apartment, I had a switch a small light on because otherwise the few seconds where she was walking to get the remote would've been in complete darkness, which isn't very good! Also, by coincidence, when I was filming the over the shoulder shot where she turned on the television, the Joanna Yates murder was being talked about on the news, which added to the suspence of the scene and added another Red Herring. The Joanna Yates case was also what I mainly based by thriller on, so this worked really well.
****need to re-shoot scene where Jo walks out of bathroom to turn television on, as I forgot to leave the bath running****

Left to shoot:
  • First scene- low angled on ramp in between floors on mutlistory carpark. Only see car headlights as it's dark. Then car drives past Sarah who is walking towards the camera. This is a Red Herring.
  • Last scene- over the shoulder from the front of Jo, looking into doorway. See's silhouette of man holding massive carving knife. Close up of massive carving knife- finishes.
