Second Day Of Filming.. (Thursday 3rd Nov)

After filming our practice shots (Wednesday), we then had an idea on what we wanted to film and how we wanted to film it. All of the problems/queries we had before were discussed and sorted out; e.g. the costume of both characters.
We decided to film before Annie again as we had the costumes ready and both Millie and Kira were available. We decided to re-film the corridor scene where Ruth (Kira) is slowly walking down the corridor with the lights flickering. Now she is wearing a red dress, she stands out more as red is such a vibrant colour. We took several clips of this as we feel as though we can use them throughout the trailer, in between shots. Instead of just having those shots, as she got nearer the camera, we experimented with having Ruth jump towards the camera, making it feel like she is pouncing on Millie. However, it didn't turn out how we wanted it to and Kira couldn't help but laugh. So instead, we thought that it would look quite scary if Ruth tilted her head and smiled at the camera. We felt that it looked very effective, and it even scared ourselves!
In addition, we also filmed the scene where Lucy (Millie) is running up the stairs, as if she is being chased by Ruth. Whilst filming this, we had an idea that when filming the Point Of View shot of Lucy, we could have Ruth standing under the stairs; we thought this would look really effective as you can only but see a glimpse of her which looks really freaky.
We are thinking about re-filming some shots, such as running up the stairs, as we need to make sure the lighting is the same throughout, but only if we have time. Also, there is a table in the way which we would like to move as it spoils the shot.

On the whole, I (Claire) think it was a good filming session as we had a lot to work with and edit in our lessons. We need to be much better organised over our next few filming sessions as we don't have a lot of time left until our final thing has to be finished!
