CONSTRUCTION AND FILMING: WHAT HAVE I LEARNT


Killing scene- when filming this scene due to the area we were using we has to work at speed as the rooms was needed for a teachers meeting this placed pressure on us. Despite of this we managed to work quickly and used the natural light to our full advantage as it shone of the hair of the girl and created a reflection of the girls face on the surface of the piano this added extra effect. 
News sceneIn order to create a realistic set for our news/forensic scientist scene  I ordered police tape, forensic suits, face masks and foot covers. This made it look realistic and believable and it will help the audience relate the more realistic that it looks. When filming this sense all went well and we managed to do it in only one shot, it was only until we began to edit that we realised that the wild sound of the wind had drowned out the sound of our news reported speaking.
Van scene- this scene involved lots of preparation before even beginning to film as the set has to look realistic and lived in. I used a old OS map and news articles to decorate the set. We then did various shots of the van, one full pan and other close up shots. 
Morning/ Kitchen scene- before filming this scene as a group we discussed it would be much more realistic if we used a real lived in kitchen rather than creating one at school. Furthermore, we lit the house with bright filming lights as we were using a laptop screen meaning the lighting behind had to be extremely bright for the laptop screen to be visible. During this scene we used many different shot types, for example, low angle shot when Winter is picking up her post and  over the shoulder shot when she is looking through her post. Winter is dressed in short night wear to make the girl relatable and vulnerable as she is showing skin.
