First filming shoot

On Monday the 17 of November we started our A2 media filming. for this shot we needed our main character (Mitch) and a body/victim (Molly). we also needed some blood to which we had to improvise as we had no fake blood, so we used beetroot juice mixed with flower to thicken the mixture this gave us a realistic blood substitute. Below are the raw videos that we took and will eventually edit into the final product.

This first video the focus had focused on the sofa so when we went round the corner the room as out of focus this surprisingly added a level of  unease to the shot.

This next shot we just filmed and told Mitch and Molly to change positions while we filmed as we can cut out sections and lengthen others to make our sequence work and to get the scenes we need.

                                     

Filming troubles

For one of our scenes we wanted to film in in a flat however we do not have access to a flat. So to try and recreate a flat scenery to do this we have asked to use a friends bungalow which will look similar to a flat as all of the rooms are on one floor like a flat. With this problem comes another as we also need a flight of stares so to try and recreate a block of flats flight of stares we will be using a multi story car park as the flight of stares are similar so we can make it look like the character are in a block of flats. to further create the illusion that our characters are in a block of flats is by filming scenes of a block of flats and then cutting to the bungalow this should give the impression that you are in a flat

Cross fade

To try a new editing technique we attempted a cross fade showing one person fade out and another person fade in to the same place. This was an idea that we tried as we thought we could use a scene similar in our trailer 

Oxford Test filming 1

On Monday during our half term me and Elliot went in to Oxford to scout for some good filming location sand to try and try and get a clear idea of how we can use these locations to our advantage. Below is one of the trial clips that we took during our time in Oxford. This is a panning shot took from hangman's hill by Oxford castle this gives a good over view of the area and you can clearly tell that you are in Oxford. This could be an affective opening to the trailer as you get a clear understanding of where you are.

Oxford Test Filming 2

Also during our time in Oxford we were in a multi story car park and we used its flight of stares because one of the scenes is in a bloc of flats and we needed either a bloc of flats with a stare well of a suitable alternative and as we don't have access to a bloc of flats the car park stares look very similar. Below is the test shot that we have also edited. on of the features we edited in was the illusion that he is being chased by multiple people  however this didn't turn out as anticipated and you can easily tell that it is just the same shot replayed three times.

Lighting effects

In one of our lessons we attempted to recreate the lighs of a police car.This will allow us to potentially apply this effect to our production to make the illusion that there is a police car round the corner. This section is supposed to be the part of the trailer where the murder is running away from the police down an ally to which the light appear on the wall as if a police car has turned up
