Re-filming

From the last post, you can see the bad quality and standard of our filming which we previously made. From seeing how our filming came out and discussing that we wasnt happy, we decided to change the story line slightly. Our main focus is still of a stalker however we only have him stalking one girl as we thought that previously with all of us playing characters it looked a bit to hectic and we was introducing to many characters in the opening scene. Today filming, i took the role of being the girl who was being stalked, chloe dressed up to be the male stalker, emily directed and unfortunatly kerry couldnt make it. Using the HD camera and tripod we filmed in the following places:
- Emilys house
- Emilys Estate
- Crystal Palace Park
- Penge
We all thought that today went alot better than the previous day of filming as the rain held off, the lighting looked alot better when we played back what we filmed and the quality was alot better. We all had alot of fun filming and are looking forward to start editing which we should begin on tuesday. Below are some pictures of us filming today.

During our filming we ensured that we used a variety of differant shots to engage the audience more, we used the following shots:

Mid shot - We used mid shots to establish the setting. For example, we used a mid shot to film me in the bed  having a nightmare to show that i was in a bed. We also used a mid shot when i was sitting on a bench in the park to show the surroundings.

Extreme Close Up - Extreme close ups are used to show the importance of something, we decided to use an extreme close up to show messages which the girl recieved on the phone and the message which the stalker was sending. This shows that the message has an important effect on the rest of the film.

Over the shoilder shot - Using over the shoulder shots are used to show what the character is looking at. We decided that we do not want the stalkers face shown so we used alot of over th shoulder shots to show the character 'stalking' and showing his mystery. An example of when we used an over the shoulder shot is when the stalker was looking at the girl on the computer.

Close ups - Close ups are usually used to show a characters reaction, we used a close up to show the girls reaction to waking up from a bad dream which she had on the stalker. Close ups does not show the setting which means that the audienes main focus is on the character in the shot.

Long shot - Long shot show the whole of the scene which you are filming in, the focus is still of the character owever alot of background. We used a long shot when the girl was walking to the park and walking into the park.

Panning - This is when the camera moves across a scene horizontally, we used panning to show the girl walking past the camera to go to the park.

Below is the new storyboard which we are using due to the fact that we wasnt happy with the way our previous filming turnt out which means changing the storyboard.
