Issues around representation

Day three of filming

Today me and Laura went 

to the graveyard as we thought that it would be 

a good idea to film some pieces for our titles part

in our opening. When we were there we mainly

shot clips of me walking through the graveyard

and some of me running, including some different 

types of angles. We shot quite a lot of footage at

the graveyard as we needed to make sure we had 

enough.

On this day we also managed to film the scene when 

the girl goes to her Grandmas house, however this did

turn out differently than we planned on our storyboard 

as we didn't want out opening to drag on for too long or

seem more like a trailer... find out how it changed later in

our finished production.

Day two of filming

                                            Yesterday we mannaged to get a 

lot more of the filming done which 

included the argument that the girl has 

with her Dad, the girl walking up the stairs,

grabbing her coat and bag, and walking 

outside in the dark to her Grandmas house,

although we didnt shoot the scene with the 

Grandma in today as we planned to do it the

next. However we shot the scene again when

the girl finds the old article of her Granddad.

Day one of filming

The 17th of February- Filming Day Number 1!

On the first day of filming we didn't actually do as much filming as the other

days that we had planned. This is because on the first day, me and Laura decided that it would be the best choice to get on with making the props and asking some of the people we needed (Laura's Grandma and Dad) when they were able to film, therefore it was easier as we could plan ahead which gave us more time to do other important things.

We started off our "filming day" by getting out props together with began with 

making the fake article that the girl finds in the attic whilst at her Grandmas 

house. This prop actually took a long time to make as it took a while to dry after

we had made it, however while we were waiting we discussed scenes that we were not fully sure on and some of them in the final product were changed a bit.

We then got an old looking photo of a young man dressed in a Military uniform which we used for the picture in the frame which the girl carries with her in the opening of our thriller. (We then put this in a old looking frame and so as it was ready for us we put it where it is placed for when we were filming).

Although we didn't use this on the fist day of out filming, we decided to put a box together to use as the box filled with the girls Granddads old belongings. To do this we just put the fake article in the bottom and some old looking books and random items that we could find.

Filming: Like I already said, on the fist day we didn't do too much filming as we were preparing everything we needed first. When it came to filming, we did the scenes without the Dad or Grandma needed as they were more available on other days. 

Some parts that we managed to get filmed on this day was the part when the girl is packing her bag, when she finds the old article, when she picks up the photo of her Granddad, although we didn't have my Dad we were able to film the girl walking out of the door after the argument with her Dad and then we filmed a few shots of the location in case needed.

Location scouting

We are going to use these steps when the girl is walking up and down them before she leaves her house and heads to her Grandmas. However we are not certain on the angle.

This picture shows the location that we are planning on using when the girl is outside when walking to her Grandmas. The road is long which will be good as we can film on different parts of it making it seem like she walks a long way.

Here is the room we might be using for when the girl and her parents are arguing. We are not sure yet at where in the room will be best.

 

Here is an example of the door we may be using for when the girl runs out of after arguing with her parents, also this could be the door that the girl comes back into before she sees the photos including the one of her war hero Grandad.

Here is an idea of what we might use to put the photos on where the picture of her Granddad is standing. We will show it using different shots e.g. mid-shots of the shelf cutting to close-up shots of just the picture.

This would be good place to film the girl packing her bag. We will do the first shot looking through the mirror and then to pan to her actually packing it not through a reflection. I think that this will have a good effect.

(There is also a place to stand for the camera person so as they are not seen in the background of any of the mirrors, as seen in these photos).
