Photographs| Behind The Scene Shots

This section of the blog shows the stages of filming for the stairway shots.

For this scene we used the fake blood prop; the actor's face was covered in blood to help create the atmosphere of distortion.

Also to help the scene seem more realistic, the actor then took a handful of blood and placed this into her mouth. Which can be seen in the image below.

Filming And Planning For The Janitors Closet Scene

For the early stages of filming the scene, we set up the camera and tripod. This part was not very difficult because we had already been shown last year how to set up the tripod and camera.

The next stage was to set up the lights, the whole group thought this would be the easiest part of the set up for the filming, but it was actually the hardest part of the set up, mainly because we had not taken the lighting very seriously. Below you can see a photo of Jocelyn one of the group members trying to set up the light in a better postion.

As time went on, we were still trying to find the best postions for the lights and we had our actor standing in various postions, repeating the scene over and over again.

One of the main issues we had with the lights is that the lights were reflecting against the red door because the paint used is non-reflective. This affected us greatly because anywhere the lights were postioned there was a bright white light on door, such as the one seen in the above photograph.

In the photo above you can see a dimmer was used on the lights to try and reduce the amount of light being reflected against the door, but this was not successful because the reflection was still shown on the door.

After some time we can up with an idea which was to change the shot from a medium shot to a close up, this was successful because the reflection off the door was not shown in the shot.

For the last shot of the scene we decieded to lower the tripod to the lowest postion possible so that we could get a low perspective of the action happening in the scene. This was a success because as the prop of the pink bag drops into the shot it makes the shot seem more dramatic and intense.

In conclusion, the filming for this scene of the trailer was successful, but in the early stages we did not think the shot would be possible. Then, after thinking for some time and with support from our teacher, we were able to film the scene.
