To get the effect of night time, we closed the curtains in the bedroom/living room scenes. However this didn't give us enough light to be able to see Brett or Calum clearly, and we didn't book a lighting kit, so we had to use a reflector to try and get light on to their faces. We think this worked, as it we could tell their faces on camera. Being as Brett was a hooded figure, we struggled to get light just on his mouth, and it was almost too dark to be able to pick up on camera. Other than that, filming went quite smoothly, and now we just have to edit it.
Evaluation of location shooting (1)
Our shooting process was easy to an extent, as the location was fine, and the actors turned up. However, we came across quite a few difficulties, some which we were able to overcome, some which we couldn't. At the start, we struggled to get the mic for the sound recording kit to work. That was only minor, as we got it to work soon after.
Shooting Schedule
A shooting schedule is an important document for organising actors, equipment, and the location of our shoot. If we roughly follow the shooting schedule, then the shooting process should be easier for us.
After organising props, actors, date, time, and location, the next step is to film our rough cut.
Risk Assessment
As seen in the props post, a knife will be used in our film. We have chosen to use a real knife over a fake knife, as we want to see the gleam of a real knife as appose to plastic, and people can always tell the difference between a fake and a real knife. These are the precautions we will take:
- make sure the antagonist does not hold the knife for too long
- blunt the knife slightly
- make sure the antagonist holds the knife away from their body
Animatic
This is the animatic that we produced. An animatic is basically an animated storyboard, with sounds and credits added to give a better idea of what will happen in the film opening and when.
