Shooting day 2- Party scene

The Party Scene

Today we filmed our beginning of our opening sequence and clips which can be used within the montage. We took some photos and videos of the setting and costumes so if we needed to film any scenes again we could do with no continuity errors. Video Created by Zack

          

Setting

  Because it was a party we wanted to make sure there were no continuity errors to do with the time. Also it set a sombre mood and atmosphere for our shot we filmed from outside.

This is the table set for the filming. I felt it looked very naturalistic and relevant to audiences everyday lives with there families so they can relate.

To add to the scene i put up some birthday cards in the background because the storyline is a birthday party so i thought it was necessary we had those.

Table Setting

Once we had positioned the family we filmed them so once again we also knew where they were all sitting (if we needed to re film) and also it would give a clear idea of the location we used and the surroundings.

Costumes

Ophelia- On the day I put on the outfit which we had decided (black jeans and a white shirt) however, we felt it didn't fit in well with the ensembles costumes so instead I went for a skirt and a smart top.

Ensemble- We gave them a brief on what to wear and we said 'Smart casual' and i feel all there outfits fit the brief perfectly as Ophelia did fit in as she doesn't want to demonstrate any psychotic elements towards her family.

Props

Once again we used the knife as that is a key part to our storyline as it symbolises danger. We also used the red velvet cake discussed in our previous blogs. One slight problem we realised is the cake was smaller than we anticipated as we ordered it online, however if it doesn't look how we want it to look than we can just re- film that bit so it was just a minor issue.
