Filming Diary - January 29th & Shot List

This was our first day of filming, and for this we had all three of our cast members involved; unfortunately, due to various reasons, Alex Cockburn was unable to take part in our film in the end. The first bit we filmed was the walking part and flashes in the wooded area, where Louise had to make her way along the path cutting between the trees. The flashes in this part were filmed with either Keegan or Matt stood or walking behind her, and will be cut very short and inserted into main part. We filmed this from several different angles and a few different times, to ensure we had the footage we needed. We then moved onto filming in and around Emmaline's house. We needed several different shots from this; one of Louise opening the front door and walking up the stairs, with the silhouette of one of the stalkers stood behind her. This looked quite effective, because as she ran up the stairs, she switched on the lights, making the figure behind her come to attention. We filmed one more scene here, which was in a bedroom, with one of the stalkers hidden behind the door. We filmed this from two different angles and will be used as part of an extended flash. We intended to film the final part, walking down Court Road as well that afternoon, but due to how long it took to film in the other two locations, it got too dark to do so, and the cameras couldn't pick up on the actors. Because of this, we will need to film again on another day, making sure that the three of them look the same as before, to aid continuity.

This is our shot list we prepared before filming. We used this as a guideline as to what we needed to film and when, but due to various weather conditions and previous commitments of cast members, we were not always able to stick to it. However, it was useful in that it gave us an idea of exactly how much footage we would need.
