Tuesday 26th January 2010, Lesson 3

Our overall aim for lesson 3 was to continue with the filming process with a hope of finishing the shots that we required to make our final product. Although we accessed the footage that we had produced in our previous lesson, however the characters in the production were not wearing the same costumes as in the previous session. This problem was easily combated however; we simply decided to borrow items of clothing from other members of our class that were similar to the original costumes that we had been using.
For this section of the production, we decided to re-shoot some of the footage which we had taken in the previous lesson, due to a lack in quality of the footage that was shot. Again we included shots such as shot reverse shot, over the shoulder shots and tracking shots. We also used an eye line match, so that the audience is able to experience the fear that is instilled into the pizza boy character, as he realises that the front door is wedged open, the hope for this shot was that we were able to install a sense of fear into the audience, for this sequence, it was decided that the pizza boy character was to be murdered. To make this look as authentic as possible, we decided to use fake blood to make the whole situation seem more realistic and engage the audience into the footage.
