In preparation for the first shoot we made a call sheet to plan out everything we needed for the shoot and wanted to film:
Challenges we faced during the shoot:
- We were working with amateur actors so it took us a lot of precise direction
- The corridor, a public space had quite a lot of noise that interfered with the dialogue.
But the rest of the shoot went very well and we had no other problems.
Our second shoot was scheduled for December 8th, during the afternoon so we could aim to shoot before dark, while still having a few night scenes. We had planned to shoot two scenes, the street and forest.
We planned our scenes by creating a call sheet with the shots we intended to use. This helped us get the shot variety we wanted as well as keeping track of where we were at, before adding other shots. in the end We didn't end up using all the shots we filmed in our rough cut.
Firstly we started by creating the script and workshopping it together : Script changes from AlexP92627
Our Final Script:
Location:
The location was the forest near Laura's house, we chose it since it was easy to access and has a lot of variety in streets and trees, as well as having a place to do make up. When looking for the location in the forest we were looking for symmetry as well as the area being well lit.
The Initial Edit of the Scene:
Audience Feedback:
What are the first initial mistakes that you noticed?
- Sense of stalking wasn't created
- Phone pings timings don’t sync up
- Shots of ground is unnecessary, can cut scene shorter
- We can clearly see her shaking, mask the elements of coldness
Can you clearly denote the horror genre? If not, what can we do to make it clearer that it’s horror?
- The false scare
- Connotations of drinking, smoking, and sex as "sinful"
Is there anything we can change visually?
- Zoom in on the phone to show the text better
- Bottle isn't seen well
- Unnecessary unscrewing shot, and re-screwing is too long
- Can see the cigarette is broken, cut to hide that
Continuity wise, are there any parts that don’t make sense?
- Zoom in or zoom out when jumping between shots to flow better
- Close up reaction to vodka can be taken out
- Remove camera shake during scare
Are there any changes we should make to the dialogue?
- Dialogue seems ingenuine ("slash my throat")
- Bad dialogue audio, rerecord as foley sound
Challenges we faced during the shoot:
-We didn't block the scenes with the cast beforehand, we lost a lot of time during the shoot-The weather conditions. The rain and hail impacted the quality of the footage and acting.-It got dark very quickly so we had to use artificial light.
