Filming

Filming Day 1

After much delay due to difficulties finding actors and bad weather over Christmas we started filming in the first week. We used a spare room in our school and used equipment borrowed by the science department to turn it into a hospital room. We filmed the part where the woman is talking to her comatose husband as a dialogue by using shot-reverse-shot and used low lighting to give it an eerie atmosphere. However when we came to the editing process we didn’t like lighting as we believed it was to dark for a hospital room lighting as we believed it was to dark for a hospital room and didn’t look convincing enough therefore viewers aren’t going to engage enough with it. That’s why we re-filmed it moving to different locations and using a different actress.

Filming Day 2

This time we moved to a classroom in a science department using a different actress to fill in. We filmed in the same way using brighter lighting, but however without an actor for the coma guy. The actress rather astonishing however the filming did not go as well and the framing of shots was bad with unnecessary things in the background. The problem was that the room we used was small and had a lot of stuff in it making it a bad filming location so we decided to move again.

Filming Day 3

We filmed the club scenes in front of the school south entrance which we believed looked most like a club entrance. We took different static shots of the beating in different angles to make it look like the action was captured from different CCTV cameras. This day went really well and we didn't have any problems what so ever while filming.

Filming Day 4

Because we couldn’t make a hospital room which looks convincing enough so we decided to change the idea and have the girl talking to her self in front of the club trying to deal with it on her own. The reason why we did this is because if the mise-en-scene isn’t convincing the audience won’t get emotionally involve with it and the emotional side is our biggest selling point in the movie therefore we went for something more realistic.

This is my first draft poster which I designed using publisher and copied into paint to make it an image. I decided to use silhouettes because it is a powerful tool to evoke an emotional response from the audience like they do in the poster for 'Red Road'. It is also what my partner used in his poster and to make it look part of a campaign.
