Second day filming evaluation & twitter

Second day filming 

Above I have created a slide show consisting of photos taken on the second day of filming. We filmed in my garage which is in Enfield, we used various props such as a Globe taken from the Geography department, various pages ripped from old books, newspaper articles that were printed out, the Bible and jewellery. The lighting in the garage was dim however this worked in our favour. When filming quotes we had the demo light on and facing the bible, as well as having a candle lit behind the bible, the lighting was effective as when we watched the shots you could clearly the quotes as the area was well lit, as well as the fact the candle gave a warm hue to the shot.

We decided to use a globe instead of an american flag as we thought we could create more interesting shots if we had this instead. The plan for the shots that included the globe was to have a shot of the globe spinning, followed by another shot of our friend Mert using a pin to show the location of where we are in, in this case the bible belt region. This was so we can show the audience where exactly the location is set in, if we used an american flag we felt that this would be too vague, therefore by specifically showing the bible belt area this will make the audience assume that this is an important location in the film.

We used jewellery as apart of our mine en scene, the audience will be able to make their own judgements on what the jewellery represents, personally I see this as the main character collecting jewellery from a girl that may be a witch, the reason why I said witch is because the quote in the bible mentioned witches. However the jewellery on the table is up to interpretation.

On the first day of filming which was in Finsbury park/crouch end we created a twitter to inform the media department in city and islington that we are filming, we used the twitter account to post pictures of the group filming in my garage.

Overall, the second day of filming was successful, we were able to get a variety of shots such as light flickering, door closing, many shots of the desk and various other shots that would be appropriate in our title sequence. Now that we have the shots we need I feel confident that our title sequence will be very successful.
