Hello again!
Yesterday was our FINAL shoot! :(
It was a tough one, as Bhavika was feeling very unwell and could therefore, not make it. We prepared ourselves for the challenge of juggling sound, admin, lighting and camera work between 2 people - hard work!
However, we focused on our aim to have collected all our necessary footage by the end of that shoot. We word efficiently and without being distracted by the missing quarter of the group.
Luckily, we managed to get all the shots we had planned to, and they looked fantastic!
So...things that i learnt during this shoot:
1. The actor's job is a TOUGH one. I lost count of how many times i walked up the same filght of stairs.
2. Continuity is a BIG issue, especially when it involves costume.
3. Everything in the mise-en-scene is there for a reason and can make ALL the difference.
4. Having a group of four, is a SERIOUS advantage.
5. You can discover more foley ideas in the most random ways!
I'm so excited about editing now! But i'm going to miss shooting sooooo much! :(
I'll update sooon...

Idea Change - The Shoots afterwards
On Wednesday 3rd December, during our group meeting, Bhavika had a sudden brain wave about how to make our original idea even more unnerving and scary! :D
Having look backed at the footage from our first real shoot, the group made a unanimous decision, that actually, it just wasn't scary enough. Queue Bhavika's new idea! Bhavika's vision consisted of several close ups of Mia getting ready, put together, rather than one smooth sequence. The revelation of this vision prompted Mary to suggest we interrupt each short take, with a longer one, making the sequence more pacey and causing the build up of suspense. We decided together, to have the lengthier shots as our credits! However, we decided to stick to our original plot, varying the story board slightly.
The Shoot - Final Idea
The shoot after olur final idea was established went very well! We managed to get all the shots that we needed without any problems. Our lighting was working amazingly, and everything seemed to fit with our vision.
I think what worked particularly well was how we rotated the duties. This meant that everyone got a chance to so various jobs, and so it was never montonous or boring for anyone.
I think that now that we all had a vision in mind, we were able to work more efficiently and productively.
Overall, I'm very pleased with the process so far and group dynamics are better than ever!! :)
