Filming in St. Osburgs

As a group we are continuing to film our trailer. Now we are beginning to film more scenes we are getting really confident using the camera and beginning editing has helped us to see how it will look as the finished product. From these reasons we decided to film lots more of our scenes and have filmed the more difficult ones.

To begin we used two big wooden doors and have asked our actress to walk towards them giving the impression to the audience that she is walking through a corridor. This will be the corridor leading to the mental patients hospitals room.
 We have filmed our actress on a wooden white chair in the center of a room. This gives the impression that she is in a mental hospital, also the white chair looks quite old which is when our film is set. For this it was filmed directly in front of her and it was a long angle shot.
Then we filmed the girl sitting on the floor rocking as she begins to look a bit agitated. We have filmed this as we want to show the girl looking as if she is remembering something before we show the flashback of the two girls swinging.
We then filmed the girl on the floor rocking on the floor in bigger movements as she is crying and looking very upset.This was filmed from a high angle and it showed the girls emotions look more expressive.

Filming the house scene was quite challenging as we had to set up the stage we used to make look like a abandoned home and then we had to show the girl running through it appearing to look as if she remembers it as her old childhood home. We started to show the empty room and then the girl ran in looking very upset to see her house abandoned. The actress started to pick things up like the chairs and papers of the floor. We did this to show the girl still cares about her family and their possesions.

Towards the end of that scene we showed the girl walking towards a old fashioned mirror. Right at the start of the next scene it shows the girl looking in the mirror by herself as if she used to do this as a child. In the next scene suddenly the girl from the swings in the flashback who is the girls sister comes in the mirror behind her. We filmed this as an over the shoulder shot of the girl but so you cannot see the sister outside of the mirror but only her reflection. Finally we filmed the girl in the mirror by herself again but looking behind her seeing if the sister is there but she is not as she has disappeared.
