On Wednesday we met up again to continue the filming of our trailer. The scenes we wanted to accomplish were the opening part of Alex opening the email and the ending hostage scene. Due to lighting issues and practicality of us filming in Sam's house, we had to change the location of the hostage scene featuring Dean tied up and injured, from a room inside the house to the garage. However in recollection, we feel that this was in fact a very positive change and the mise-en-scene actually works better here than it would have inside. The first scene set in the kitchen of Alex finding another mysterious email was actually harder to film than we had anticipated due to the varying shots and the lighting in the room and computer screen. It was then hard to decide how to make a smooth transition from an over the should shot and for the audience to see the content of the email.
This was solved in our editing today, and with some quick shots and lighting chan
ges we have managed to make the footage work how we had envisaged.
We did our photo shoot for the magazine and poster images after filming as our actors were in costume and make up already. We all had our own personal ideas for how we envisaged our ancillary texts, so we took turns to be the photographer. We experimented with lighting and different angles, but there will be more about the photographs on our personal blogs.
We uploaded our photos to our Flickr account:
