Production Blog Entry 5 - Filming Problem

Today we were meant to be filming the main piece of our opening sequence with the main characters of Lucy and George, however we encountered a problem and they were unable to give up their free time due to work and school commitments. 


After long discussions with our teachers and our group we decided to alter our film idea and script to accommodate our free time so that we are able to get the filming done in time. We decided to instead use myself and Tommy as the two main characters. This would be a lot easier for us as we then could film during our media lessons as we then know all of us would be able to come to the location. 


We also decided to change the script and film idea as we wanted to include the location as much as possible as this was extremely successful creating a strong mood that we wanted to portray. 


Our new idea: 

  • A longer establishing shot at the beginning of the opening sequence where the first credits would be.   - This would make the audience 
  • A tracking shot of the father walking through the building, down stairs etc
  • The daughter sitting or standing facing away from the camera, rocking in a long white robe. 
  • Then a point of view shot of the father walking towards the girl, then the girl starts to turn around. The filming then stops just as you start to see her face
  • Then the title appears
With the alterations we made, we also had to change the costume of the girl slightly. Due to the fact before hand we were going to show the girls red eyes at the end, but now however we won't see her face we didn't have to go out and buy this.  We would keep the same clothing of the father, in suit trousers, a shirt and smart shoes and similarly for the female character we have decided to keep the idea of wearing something white which could give a sense of insanity. Therefore the girl shall be wearing a white silk gown.
