1. Day1
What the group did today: we shot some of the opening scenes to our film trailer.
Why we did this: we did this because we thought shooting in order of what happens
and then editing and moving them around would be easier.
What was I personally responsible for: I was personally responsible for creating the
light source we needed as well as the acting.
The purpose/ impact/ effect was: I had to make sure the lighting was good for
example if we needed the room to be dark I had to find a way to make it dark so I
would close the curtains or turn the light off. I had to use all different kinds of
objects and light material to make it dark or create a light to show just the
characters face. I used my phone to create light in some of the scenes. We also had to
shoot a scene where the character was sleeping so I had to make it dark to seem like
it was night but not fully dark so you couldn’t see the character and his actions and
expressions. I decided to close the curtains to give it that night feeling but decided to
use my phone torch so we was able to see the character.
Day2
What the group did today: we shot the rest of the scenes we needed for our movie
trailer.
Why we did this: we tried to finish as soon as possible so we could get to editing
which we knew would be harder.
What was I personally responsible for: I was responsible for making sure we had the
right lighting we needed whether I had to make or get rid of a light source.
The purpose/ impact/ effect was: making sure we had the correct lighting we
needed before we got to the scene and started filming for example I had to think of
some equipment to bring to create light if needed for example we used candles
because we didn’t want a strong bright light as we had to make it look like it was
shot at night. We also decided to use candles because it doesn’t create a big light
source but enough to see face which fitted in really well with our horror movie
trailer.
Day3
What the group did today: we went and re-shot some of the scenes as we realized
they needed to be a bit better whether it was because of the acting, lighting or just
thought we could get a better shot.
2. Why we did this: we did this because we thought we could end up recording better
scenes for our trailer.
What was I personally responsible for: I was personally responsible for the lighting
in the scene as we had to re-shoot again because the lighting wasn’t as good as we
wanted the first time.
The purpose/ impact/effect was: find the right lighting we needed to make our
scene look better and more professional. I had to use all different types of lighting
for example natural light source, we had to change settings because when shooting
in the living room shadows showed on the actors face so I decided we had to change
where the scene took place and moved to another room. I had to make sure I had it
right this time so we didn’t have to come back and waste time shooting and start
editing. When we started re-shooting the scene where the character is locked in the
bathroom scared I decided the light needed to be closer to his face as that was the
problem last time where the character couldn’t be seen properly and had to be re-
shot.
