3/1/15 | PRODUCTION | FILMING
Today Harriet, Amber, Nikki Granger and
I met up at Harriet’s house to do some more filming for our film opening, Erica. We filmed using a Canon 550D
video camera and torches to create eerie lighting as we were filming after
dark. We did not use a tripod for these scenes as we wanted them to be handheld
so they were disorienting and created a spooky atmosphere. We filmed a lot of
shots for the main part of the opening, when my character Erica is walking down
the street, sees Nikki’s character being bullied by Amber and Harriet’s
characters, and then stalks and kills them. Amber again did the makeup for the
scenes and both me and Amber helped style
hair as part of the costumes, for example I gave Nikki plaits to make her
look young and innocent. Amber and Harriet directed most of the shots but we all
contributed our own ideas. We also all took a turn filming. I was mainly responsible for organizing getting everyone together and finding someone to play Faith
(Nikki’s character).
We spent 3 hours filming
these scenes and I feel it was successful. We got a range of shot types such as
canted angles, close ups and tracking shots.
