Diary of filming-day 2

This was our second day of filming where we had only a few more clips to take to finalize the filming process. For these shots in particular, we lowered the tripod to ensure we had a clear, stable close up shots. Although we could of used the zoom feature, we thought that is not the concept of a close up and it would be blurry and non conventional of these types of camera shots. The close up shots were used in particular, to show Robyn as she awakes- which was the climax of our opening scene and what we predominantly focused on on this second day of filming. Through these shots, we are able to see a clear image of her cuts and bruises and in realistic nature; how you would not expect her to wake up.
Evidently, we have stayed in the same location throughout. this was because we thought that, because it is only the opening two minutes, you typically wouldn't expect to be shown multiple locations as it could possibly confuse the audience; from moving from one place to another. Our initial idea was in the same place as we incorporated a variety of short clips which, in this case, showing panic and urgency. We didn't feel the need to change location as you could realistically give the audience the impression that something else must happen and that the villain has another idea or alternatively somewhere else to go, in future events. In the shot on the bottom right, we didn't use the tripod as our plan was to get an over the shoulder shot of the man in the car, however it would have been difficult to adopt the correct,stable position and also to fit it in the car. As you can partially see, the location here is quite derelict and there aren't a lot of people or majorly busy roads. This kind of location was suitable; in relation to our horror genre it worked well. Although, there were a fair amount of times where we had people walking past and also people getting in our shots, which meant we had to re-film particular clips.
