Filming the library scene.

Today, we met up with our cast member Millie, to film the library scene that will be used in the first part of our trailer.   We kept the lighting natural to create a safe school environment.  In order to achieve a build up; later on in the trailer, we are looking to use the footage as long clips, to gain a contrast with the fast pace jump cuts towards the end.

We, captured shots of Millie reading the diary from different angles.  So that we could then have a wider choice when fialising the trailer in editing. We found that the most successful were the over the shoulder shots focusing on the dairy and the mid-shots of the pages themselves.  We also filmed a pan of the book shelf before focusing on millie in order to establish the library and where millie is hiding.  We filmed an audiences point of view by holding the camera in front of the person filming and then walk through the door and acroos  the library to where Millie is situated. This is a different of establishing the environment.  We found the library a little too light for the shots near the end of the trailer so we turneed the lights off, for this part and filmed Millie in a more distorted way as she dropped her head, to show a trance like state.
