Filming 09/03/17

Today we filmed the majority of the shots we would need for the bulk of our opening. We made sure that we took some time to practice some shots before shooting the shots we needed to be precise and exact to see how the shots will relate to what we need the opening to convey. When filming we noticed that the lighting was completely different to when we had filmed establishing shots of the graveyard in our previous filming session. The setting had also changed slightly as the trees that were bare when we filmed before and now were covered in blossom. Because of this we decided we had to film the establishing shots again. We tried to replicate the shots as best we could as they flowed nicely when we had edited them together. When filming shots with Lucas in we made sure that we followed the preproduction list, the varied shots that we were able to shoot conveyed the suspense and tension needed them to. We also had to consider how the shots would work with the edition of the soundtrack and sound effects. We also had to take into consideration the lighting on the day as the strong natural lighting provided by the sun gave us something else to carefully watch as when taking certain shots, we had to make sure that whoever was filming took a few steps back to allow their shadow to stay out of the frame. The costume wore by Lucas conveys his 'dark secrets' it also contrasts against the light setting and sky. He almost blends in with the shadows cast buy the sun, this could relate to how he tries to remain hidden being all alone in the graveyard.
