Filming

Today we carried on with the filming for our trailer. We stayed after school until it turned a bit darker to ensure the lighting was appropriate for the shots we wanted. Firstly we filmed a long shot of Millie running away from the camera down the corridor which we thought looked really effective and captured the idea of the 'chase'around the school. We experimented a few times with this shot and also filmed it using a canted angle, to show the instability of her character.

We then went to film the library shots. To do this we got permission to turn off the lights once it had closed. When planning our location shots were a bit cautious of whether to film in this particular library because it was quite light, happy and had a positive atmosphere however once it was empty with the lights turned off the atmosphere suddenly changed and there was an eerie feel.

One problem we did encounter today, was that we didn't have access to the character Ruth's red dress which meant we couldn't film Kira's part. It doesn't effect the making of our film too much because we have already planned to have another filming session this week however in future we will need to be more organised so that we don't come accross this problem again.

To ensure that we filmed the correct shots, and didn't forget any important clips, we took our storyboard with us. We have stuck to all of the shots but we also thought it would be a good idea to experiment with some new ideas and improvise to see what we came up with. I think that this was a useful exercise because it allowed us to come up with some interesting/different shots and movements.
