Shoot 5 - The big one!

On Sunday the 19th January we completed the last our filming. Overall the shoot was a complete success; all filming was completed without disruption which I believe was simply down to good planning and organisation. The days shoot consisted of a photo shoot of the three main characters to use for the website, posters, publicity etc... We also shot the footage for three separate scenes, the explosions scene, the opening scene in the field and the forest scenes. We had also planned to film the cafe scene during this time however unfortunately, due to complications with the booking we had to cut that scene. However we don't believe this will affect the quality of the trailer as it was more of an extra scene that was not necessary in conveying the story that the trailer needs to tell.

Unfortunately, once again one of our team members Saqib failed attend the shoot leaving us a man down and increasing the work load on the rest of the team. However we don’t believe this to have jeopardised the quality of the work we produced on the day.

The explosion shoot

The forest scene consists of Grace running through the forest afraid and alone. We deliberately moved the camera erratically and used the focus full heavily to create the effect of disorientation as believe this is exactly how Grace would be feeling at this time.

 This particular was a focus pull onto the fense, the triod had to be carried and an unusual angle to achieve the desired effect meaning two people were required to shoot, this particular shot, one person to hold the tripod and one person to perform the focus pull.

The photoshoot - Behined the scenes 

We performed a mini photo shoot in a make-shift studio set up in Emma's living room. The purpose of this was to provide professional looking shots of the character's that could be then used for promotion of the film in the form of posters, wallpapers, downloadables from the website etc...
