Day 2 of recording

Today we recorded our opening scene at Frans house. Firstly we decorated the house by using plastic sheets and taped them on the living room door way with blue industrial tape, we did the same but on the ceiling of the stairs so it hung down on the stairway. We made the fake blood recipe and recored using the camera, whilst doing this we did a little lighting experiment which made the certain colours turn green this happened because we had put it into nightmode.

Before we started filming we sat down and discussed what we would like to film first and if anyone had any ideas to incorporate into our 2 minute opening. We came up with shots of a dead body on the stairs which kind of shows that the two girls do not keep their strange hobby a secret. Also we wanted to do a scene in the bath where there would be blood all over the walls and a dead body in the bath. 

We began filming about 3 o'clock and finished at 6.

Tapping the plastic sheets to the door ways and on the cieling of the stairs. 

This is the end product of what our doorways looked like when they had the bloody hand prints and the slits in them. Although you can see the blue tape here in the shots we did not use the camera high enough so these tapes could be seen.


After we had re-planned and organised shots we began shooting the previous scripted opening, we had trouble shooting this scene as we began filming in the day and while we got perfect lighting inside the house opening the front door and allowing natural light into the scene it create automatic exposure, we would try to fix this during editing. 

As we wanted this 'hidden camera' affect running throughout our film we had to stand up on high surfaces with the camera on the tripod holding the tripod up in the air to give the impression the camera's were hidden around the house, however we struggled to do these shots as shaking accured and we had to re-take the shots until the shaking was minimised and we got the best possible shots we could.
