Filming - Day 1


On the first day of filming the group met at Charlotte Hunters house, where we began to look through the storyboard and discuss our ideas on how we could film the different scenes we were going to attempt on this day. When filming, we chose to use a Canon 500D as it would enable us to film our sequence in HD.

We first filmed the front of the house with the door opening slowly. We decided that when we began editing our footage, we could zoom this in so that the camera appears to move quickly forward and through the door. We then went onto film some of the kitchen scenes where the killer is sat at the breakfast bar spinning a knife. We filmed a few close up shots of the killers face and the knife, without revealing all of the killer face. We also filmed the footage where the killer picks up a glass and drinks from it. Here we again chose not to reveal the killers identity and the camera followed the glass. These scenes were filmed by Katie and Charlotte H. This required the use of the face paint and fake blood to make the knife appear to have been used and also to cover the killers hands.

We then went on to film the hanging scenes. Katie was responsible for creating the bruising using makeup around Charlotte's neck. When then tied the rope around Charlotte H's neck and around the chandelier and she sat on the table. We then made sure that people were stood around the table to prevent Charlotte from falling. We also filmed some close up shots of Charlotte's face and the rope around her neck. I was responsible for filming this part of our sequence. We were also pleased with how the bruising came out on camera as it looked very realistic.
