In the first picture we were sorting out and organizing the lighting for the upcoming shot. We had to adjust the lighting to make our opening sequence as effective as possible. We put a blue sheet over the bright light to make a more dramatic and ghost like atmosphere.
In the second photo we were setting up the camera on tracking this was effective as we shot our actress walking down the stairs, the tracking kept the camera extremely steady which concluded with an effect of realism.
The third picture is a image of me filming the actress making sure the camera was in the perfect position to film the shot.
.The shooting day began in the early hours of the morning. We planned our thrillers weeks before the shoot. we constructed a story board in preparation of our thriller we had a props and costume list, shot list , we planned our location in a group meeting, decided our roles that included a producer, director, cinematographer and a sound engineer.
I thought the shooting of our thriller went extremely well although poor circumstances arose. The weather was a little difficult and we found ourselves shooting in a snow storm thus making a little improvisation key. However the group worked well as a whole and we all switched roles, enabling us to experience every job, strengthening our media skills. We where each given individual roles to play which we mostly stuck with accept for the occasional swap of jobs enabling us to have a taste of every job. The actor’s role became a little repetitive; if I could I would add in more action for the actor to make the sequence a little more interesting and dramatic.
I was in charge of writing the shot list, which meant I had to write down in order every shot we took and how many takes we took for each individual shot. In our thriller we used various different shots such as tracking shots, medium shots and close ups. we mainly used these shots because our actress was a ghost and indoors she would not be wearing any shoes, it was snowing outside and we were due to shoot outside therefore to keep the reality and continuity we could not have her feet in view which meant shot choice was limited. The close ups signified our actress showing her level of importance in the sequence. The tracking shots where extremely affected although the track would sometimes move out of place if a person accidentally moved it therefore to keep the continuity we would always have to ensure the track was in place and never moved. One of the most enjoyable parts of the day was shooting in the snow, we covered the camera with umbrellas to ensure the equipment did not get wet, it was highly amusing.
We chose our location to be inside and outside. The snow was coming down heavily outside and the effect of this increased reality as our actress just wore a dress therefore suggesting she has inhumane powers like a ghost as humans would normally go outside in freezing snowy conditions barely wearing any clothes. The location we picked inside consisted of a dorm room ,corridors and a staircase which worked well however the set was a little to modern which made it a little less effective then we had hoped. However the group chose the locations well and worked as hard as possible with the locations we used to increase realism and drama to ensure the sequence was highly effective
