The first set of filming I did was in a household. I planned that in my movie i wanted to have flashbacks, at this time I was still brainstorming ideas for my opening. I wanted to have some scary action in it, such as a knife attack.
Idea: When Zac was confronted with Carla he would have a memory flashback of when she tried attacking him in the kitchen. (This way i get to show action in my movie).
Although Carla was brought back to have a 'fun night' with Zac, I decided that adding a good piece of footage to my movie, would make the audience question what is going on and hopfully find it really interesting and want to watch more of the movie to figure out why in the wold she would want to do that.
So Filming....
I filmed a scene with a knife fight in the kitchen, with Carla trying to stab Ben. This will be used as a flackback nearer to the end of my film. I also filmed footage of Carla standing outside of the home with a knife watching Zac ready to make him her next victom.
Camera Shots.
For the kitchen scene I did many shots from all angles so when it come to editing the footage i can make it fast and up temp. This allowing it to look more action packed too.
Long Angle Shot- I started off with a long shot from the lobby looking in on the kitchen. This shot also will give the audience a clearer understanding on where the characters are and what they are doing. It also helps when sticking to the natralistic idea. This shot shows Zac coming from the back of the door (pushes the door back - gives it more action and shows the audience the other character) with Carla comming at him with a knife trying to stab him.
Close Angle Shot - This again is the same actions from both Rhiannon and Ben (Behind the door) - This was a close up on the characters to show there facial reactions.
High Angle Shot - This was taken from above the two characters, i found it also shown aggression and how powerful i wanted the scene to be.
Low Angle Shot - This showed filmed below the waist on both of my charactors, it helped symbolise the struggle between the two characters of wanting to stab and defend themselves.
With the scene outside of Rhiannons character Standing outside getting ready to invade Zacs home to kill him. The camera angles i used here were,
Long/Mid Angle Shot - This was taken from behind Rhiannon. It showed Zac standing in the window (allowing the audience to understand her where abouts). It also showed you her dark clothing ans weapon in her Left hand. I asked her to hold it in her left hand as she lead against a lamp post on her right side. Also i got Ben shot on the left side, so both him and the knife were on the left side, therefore showing Carlas intentions of using the knife.
Close up shot - I used this shot on Carlas face, it showed her anger and evilness and hatrid for Zac. It also shows the audience the way she looks, and she is no 'ordinary' person anymore. It deffinatly gives the audience a clear understanding that she is the villan and giving them a creepy feeling.
