we did our initial filming, in the right location, trying to get it as perfect as possible, we filmed on a rainy day to make it look gloomy and a bit scary and eerie. we found a clearing in a really densely forested area and shot between 3 and 5 to give a darker lighting. we filmed it as many different angles usig different shot lengths so we could come back and see what worked best. we then edited the shots roughly together and put some sounds on top to give an idea of what we want it to look like. after reviewing it we want to make some small changes, so we are going to reshoot the following weekend, we want to change:
- one shot has bad framing at one point, the actors head is not fully in the frame, so we will reshoot this
- we want to add a shot in, a mid shot of the actor lying down, to go between the long shot fo the tree's and the close up of the face, so it flows better.
- change the over the shoulder shot to a point of view shot, so it looks more natural
- film a few additonal shots to lengthen the piece, perhaps of the actor running through the trees
- more sound, as the actor is totally mute.
this was a really good idea as after we put it together we realised what we loved and didnt want to change, and what needed improvement, this will help us put together a much better opening.
This is actually the footage we used in the final product, because it was the best quality we could get, as although there were a few errors it was quite well done filming, it flowed well and there were no continuity errors which we feared there would be if we re shot parts of it.
