First Day Of Filming

Today we started filming for our thriller. We used the college basment with was quite dark and things were stacked away which made the mise en scene look like an isolated place. It could have been more effective if things weren't in the basement but it is impossible to be able to remove them just to film.

Today we did interesting panning shots of the villain and close up and lots of shots of the hostage. Myself and Eman have taken the camerawork role as, Jen and Michael are acting.

The most interesting type of shot which was suggested by Jen was to have her in the frame but make it in and out of focus. By doing this, I can already see its creativity and will look really good once editted.

We did ECU's of Jen's feet hands and a close up of her face. We now need to get many more shots in and we need to include a 'flashback' of when the villan actually kidnapps the hostage.

We have used the props of a gun, a chair and a chain of loose metal to put around the hostage's feet.

I am quite pleased with what we filmed today and I'm sure things will progress by Friday.
