As I had to include another actor in my film, I asked my friend Victoria to star alongside James and Claudia. We decided to film this on the evening of Saturday 9th December as it would be dark enough to film exactly what I had pictured for her scene.
To film, I used a bedroom as the location as this is relatable to the audience. I wanted the lighting to be natural, and so I used the lights that were around the room in order to light the room in a realistic way. This was effective as it created an ominous surrounding for the scene whilst also making sure not to over-expose the video.
I wanted this scene to be filmed well as it is the only scene with dialogue in it. The use of the short clip and the tone in Victoria's voice when she says her lines is effective in adding to tension and suspense within the trailer. I think that this will be effective to use across the trailer as I could move some of the sound around instead of using the video with it, which might also add the to fear in the audience.
I continued to use the Sony HD Handycam Camcorder, and the tripod, to get the clips looking as professional as my previous clips had done. It was somewhat difficult to use the tripod in this scene as it was a bit tricky to place the tripod in exactly the right position for the camera to get the whole image due to the size of the tripod, however, I managed to find places in the room that worked well with the camera and what I wanted for the scene.
