Our filming experience

Meet the rest of my group. Although we've never made a vlog together, they do exist! This is them talking about our filming experience, and some of the compromises and changes we decided to make during filming, and post-production.

 

POV shots and Luther

When we were editing our opening, we realised that the girl getting attacked was very out of the blue, so we decided to have a counterpoint by having some shots from the attackers POV, which would hopefully help to build tension. This is an idea that was inspired heavily by an opening of an episode of Luther that we watched and used early in the course for storyboarding practice.

Shots 2 and 3

During editing, we decided to deviate from the storyboard by switching the second and third shot as there was better continuity and it looked a lot smoother.

Intercutting scenes

We decided to intercut two of our scenes. This is to keep the high tension of our opening and to make sure that the pace doesn't drop. These two shots were the same event from two different angles and so intercutting was the best choice to get rid of long clunky shots and make sure the action stays fast paced.

Saturation

We decided to bring down the saturation of our opening to better capture the bleak mood of the film, and the sinister atmosphere of the opening.

Revised Film Schedule

Unfortunately, unforeseen circumstances meant that we had to revise our filming schedule, but we should complete filming in the near future, weather permitting.

Sound 2.0

A lot of our sound is non-diagetic, as we hope that the music will build tension. It starts with calm music, and then a back beat is gradually added to build the suspense.
