Filming diary: Day 2
Date: 18th February 2017
Location: Stoneleigh station
Luckily on this day, all actors were available to shoot some more potential scenes. We set out at around 5 o clock to film the second male, victims parts plus some more dramatic/ tense scenes eg. close up shot of the knife dropping, that we missed out filming the first time. However as we were making our way to our chosen location, we thought it would be best to film the end of our opening which is the beginning of our narrative. It involves the meeting of the three main characters before they set out on their night in London. We took a range of high angled, low angled, close up and tracking shots, which focused on the meeting of the three friends and their journey on the train. Due to it not being dark enough, the mood and setting wasn't as creepy as we would have liked so we steered towards filming the scenes which would have been used and seen as earlier in the day. This worked in our favour as it was sunny reflecting the mood of the characters.
So many takes later and journeys to and from Stoneleigh to Ewell West, we had a good collection of clips to choose from, when adding them to our overall two minutes. The day was an overall success as we completed the filming in under 2 hours, with the weather staying on our side and all the shots we needed.
Unfortunately one of the female actors was unable to get hold of the same complete costume she wore when we filmed our first couple of scenes so we had to improvise and hope to add an additional scene which involved the murderer/ villain carrying the victims clothing and burning them alongside the second boys body. This will help give it a more realistic as it leave enigma codes like why did the villain take her clothes and why did he burn them. Also it makes the murder/ villain seem even more psycho. This filming will most likely take place on our last day of filming (week ending 26th February) as we only need to record some short sections just to help the final piece to be as successful as possible.
