The filming

Today we went to my basement to start filming for our horror film opening.
we started by filming tom in the grave yard which is right next to the location of my basement, during this scene there is no dialogue and it is just of tom looking at two grave stones, this helps to cause confusion and thoughts to the audience as they wonder why he is looking at the grave stone this also sets the scene for the rest of the film as starting in a grave yard will show the film is not going to be pleasant like a comedy or a romantic film as you don't tend to have comedies set in grave yard as this gives a chilling effect. we then filmed the entrance of the two characters Gwen and rosy and the initial meeting of rosy Gwen and tom, during this scence we used a lot of camera angles including over the shoulder shot, match on action, the 180 degree rule and many more. we then continued to film down in the basement where the main filming took place, we found this hard to shoot as we found it hard to get the right lighting so the audience could see what was going on, we organically used torch light but at the end of the filming session we decided that we need to re film a few more bits, and we add this to our shooting schedule.
