Today we filmed the end of our thriller opening. This involved both Elliot and Amy, and the location was my attic! We began by giving Amy her costume - shirt, tie and skirt, then did Elliot's make up. We got some brown eye shadows and a cotton bud, and then let Claudie put this under his eyes, in the hope to give him the appearance of dark bags, to make him look older.
We used my laptop as Elliot's prop, because he needed something that showed the audience how he was talking to Amy. The light from the screen was really effective when we turned off the lights because it made his surroundings pitch black, and only his face was lit up which we found really effective.
Whilst shooting this scene we once again filmed from a lot of different angles, such as long shots, mid-shots and high and low angle shot, mostly from the tripod. We adjusted the height frequently to ensure a range of different shots to choose from when editing.
After this, we filmed Amy's part. In our story, this is after she leaves the computer and goes into her room because she hears noises. She is worried, and looks around to find out where it's coming from.. Little does she know her stalker is right above her, watching her. We filmed Amy walk up the stairs from many different angles. We did a high angle shot from the attic, where you can see her through the opening which is supposed to be from Elliot's point of view. Then we did ones from the banister as she walked up the stairs, and from the landing and the end of the corridor she walks down. We are planning on using all of these shots in this scene to keep it intense and fast paced!
