Thriller Task- Re Filming

Lesson 19- 13/4/10

Unfortunately as a group we did not film in the holidays, due to other prior commitments so decided to film the Tuesday (today) we got back to college. Therefore we booked out the camera and the tripod again. We asked our actors if they were able to film these extra shots as without them as well we could not film and finish the opening sequence.

Although yet another problem occurred today as one of our actors (Character A) did not wear the same clothes as they were wearing the first time we were filming. If we were to film this would cause a big continuity problem and would ruin the whole opening sequence. As a group we did consider filming the whole thing again but I made the point that this would take too long to film and edit as we have only a short amount of time before the deadline.

As the other actor (Character B) is always in a separate shot we agreed to film his shots again as this was a part of our improvements. We went back to the location of the graveyard and filmed. The weather was again warm and sunny which was similar to the first time we filmed, this was quite lucky for us as the shots came out right. The shots that we took in turn to film were the long shot of Character B walking away from the camera as we thought this would make him appear more mysterious towards the audience. I filmed the close up of him dialling the number on the phone and Shaneece filmed the extreme close of Character B saying 'Don't jump.' We helped each other when filming by directing and making suggestions that could improve our shots.

On Thursday (15/4/10) we have decided to film the last shots of Character A so we can begin to re edit.
