Second Filming Evaluation

We all met at Lucy's house again, and walked down to our first filming location at around 9:15. We started by re filming the stabbing scenes. We decided it would be easiest to cut the jumper first so there was already a slit in it and then slide the knife in gently and remove it slowly showing the blood. We also decided to film a reaction shot of Lucy grabbing the stabbing wound and getting blood on her hand. We also decided to include a shot of Lucy being dragged through the leaves back to the stream, with an extreme close up. The picture below shows Lucy cutting through the jumper carefully, so that it is easier for Josh to slide the knife out.

 

We covered the slit in the jumper with red food gel. This is thicker than food colouring so looks more effective as blood and doesn't soak into the jumper as much. This makes the blood look more fresh and gorey, making our stabbing scene look more effective.



The picture below shows me filming the reaction shot of Lucy being stabbed. We decided that it would be best to film the new clips on my phone as the camera wasn't focusing properly and my phone has the best quality camera.



After filming these shots we then when back down to the stream where we re filmed the final ones of Lucy laying by the stream dead and the blood dripping down her hand. In the picture below it shows us preparing to film this next shot.




In the picture below it shows us trying to film an extreme close up of blood dripping down Lucy's hand, but again the camera wouldn't focus so we used my phone.



Overall this was a really successful morning of filming and we did it quickly and efficiently.
