Filming Sessions

To start off the filming for our opening scene we wanted to make sure that we followed the filming schedule which meant that we needed to follow the storyboard. The first shots we filmed were the parts with the friends of the main character. We found these shots easier to film first as we could get it over and done with and also so when it came to editing we could find it easier. The second shots we filmed were the ones in the alleyway. These shots were quite complicated to shot as we had planned on shooting so many different ones. We made sure we followed the storyboard so after each shot we would check the storyboard and find out what we had to do next. This made things a little easier as we had some structure to what we needed to film and when. When it came to filming the feet, we decided that we would get those shots done before any other shot was done. So we filmed my feet first. We then filmed the friends feet, but we ended up not using those shots as we had to cut down the opening scene. Before filming the actual shots we did some test shots to make sure the camera was positioned in the right place and also to make sure the shot looked good and interesting. We then carried on filming the rest of the opening scene. We made sure to film the shots with the fake blood after anything else we had to film without the blood. This is because we knew that the top I was wearing was going to have fake blood put on it, and it wouldn't stay clean. After getting feedback from the first draft of the opening scene we filmed some more shots in the school grounds to show the murderer a bit more than we originally see her.
