Survey

This is our survey template, we made it then gave it out to 15 of our friends who are our target audience.

Filming Day Two

We started to film the ending on a different day as unfortunately the camera battery died on the first day of filming.

We were filming in the same location as before in the Toll House. For the ending we needed a shopkeeper who was older looking and not around our age, fortunately we got Christine a worker there to play the Shopkeeper.

Kate played the part of the Final girl buying the mirror. 
This is Ed filming the shot of the final girl walking in.

Filming Day 1

On the first day of filming we were at the setting of the shop. It was dark outside so we had to make sure we got the lighting right. We used an umbrella light as we had to have it quite bright but it was softened. We also used a Canon Tribal t2i to film with on a tripod. 


As we were in quite a small place we had to make special care not to break anything as there were lots of glass objects on the shelves. Another problem we had to keep making special effort for was reflections. There were 4 people in the small shop so we had to make sure you couldn't see anyone as well as the equipment.  

 
The picture below is one of the many different angles we used.

 The video shows us filming one shot as Aidan walks through the door.

Dolly Shot

This was a quick run through of a dolly zoom we did this to get a better idea and practice for what we need to do on set. A dolly zoom is where the camera moves backwards as the camera zooms in at the same speed meaning the object remains constant and doesn't change in scale, however the background moves in a way similar to parallax. We intend to use this shot before one of our characters looks into the mirror to see her future, hopefully it will give the effect that the world around her is closing in on her, we intend to use this shot to add emphasis to the emotions she would be feeling at the time, nervous anxiety.

This shot is used in la haine a french film, the two boys are seen leaning against a rail as the camera moves back and zooms in the boys appear to get closer however the background seems to get further away.

Heath & Safety Considerations

When filming there are some heath and safety risks which we need to be aware of and avoid.

• The lights: When filming with lights they can get very hot and can sometimes inflict burns because of this we need to take care when handling them.
• Tripod: Although sounding silly we are using a tripod at all times which is a tripping hazard.
• Location: In both our settings we are not in a place owned by us. Firstly it is a shop then it is someone's house, because of this we need to be very careful not to make a mess or break anything. 
• Camera: Cameras are expensive, therefore we must handle it with care and make sure we don't break or damage it.
• Props: Our main prop is a mirror, it is very big and is owned by Ed's Mum. If smashed or damaged we will be in big trouble as well as it being dangerous as it is glass. Because of this we will handle with care and make sure it is in a safe place to film with.
