more filming ...

On this day we decided to get both of the victims shots done as we were told we did not have much time to film and we were already a lesson behind. So off we set with our equipment to the park where our second victim was going to be stalked. So we set up. Our second victim was to walk into the park, swing on the swing for a while, recieve a phone call and finally leave the park. This was a long scene to shot but gave us quite an advantage as we could capture various types of shots using this scenario. We included a point of view shot, when the victim looked at her phone to see who was calling, a worms-eye view shot when the victim was swinging on the swing, a higher angle shot, which was from the point of view of the stalker, again, the camera was hand held, to make the shot shaky therefore making it obvious to the audience that the victim is being watched. We also took pictures whilst filming to use when the stalker starts pinning photos up on the board. So the second victim was done, now we had to shoot the other scenes. To make our thriller opening create tension we decided that we should include a scene when the 2nd victim leaves the park, she crosses path with 3rd victim. This would all be from the point of view of the stalker and as the second victim crosses path with the third victim, the camera would then follow the third victim to show the audience that the stalker has found his next victim. For the third victim, the location we decided to use was the bus stop. This scene consisted of a long shot of the third victim crossing the road, this was from the point of view from the stalker, we also took pictures whilst doing this. We also used various different shots : when she was running towards the camera and a high angle shot to emphasis the fact that she is vulnerable. Once again our work was done for the day.
