We already had some footage but we wasn't too happy with the outcome so we decided to re-film. It think that this was a good idea as we needed to show a variety of camera angles which we didn't really do in our first filming.
Lauren in our thriller opening is the girl who gets stalked, I was the director so I decided how to position the camera and how the shots were going to be filmed. Chloe was the stalker so we had to disguise her as a man like figure so she wore a hooded cardigan so she could hide her face. Lauren was the main protagonist in most of the shots as it is all focused on her.
We got a variety of shots which included:
- High angle shots
- Close up
- Extreme close up
- Over the shoulder shot
- Long shot
- panning
I think when doing a thriller opening you need to show a variety of different angles so that you can show different elements of your story from an angle. For example you could have a long shot of the stalker but if you had a low angle shot then this can show that the stalker is dominant and over powering. So just by having a different shot can show a character is presented in a film.
When it came to editing we saw that our first ever filming wasn't really good quality so we decided to use a different camera which was a Sony HD which is way more effective when trying to capture very good detail.
Locations where we filmed:
- My House
- My estate
- Crystal Palace park
