Completion of filming! (Shot Log)



















So today Indya, Katy and i got to work on filming our opening and surprisingly enough, we managed to complete it! We got round to filming some extra shots which will be useful since we're still unaware of exactly how long our opening will be; therefore we can use the shots to lengthen the opening if necessary. There were a few shots we did alter due to the reality of how we could actually place the camera in terms of our visions and also there were times where the shots would be different because we misinterpreted the positioning of doors and size of rooms which altered the proxemics. Furthermore, we ended up using Katy's tripod rather than the one provided by the school due to the fact that when we put the camera on the tripod it was in the wrong position (so we couldn't tilt the camera up/down). Another issue with our filming was with trying to do a focus pull on one of our shots. When i tried to create a shot of the doll in shallow focus, switching to deep focus, the camera wouldn't comply with my intentions, thus not performing this action. Basically, we could only create a shot in shallow focus and pure blur, not deep focus unfortunately; therefore we haven't been able to put this into our film opening. Above is a shot log i wrote as we filmed each shot. Indya and Katy used it to record the information into there own shot logs.

After having filmed the shots we looked back over them and did some recordings which would be useful for the opening. These included sounds such as laughter, crying, speech, and short intakes of breath, all performed by the antagonist (myself) using Katy's mic and sound editing software. As of yet, we haven't specified which recordings we'll be using but we do have our preferences which should make the choice easy enough.
