The film crew had difficulties filming scenes due to issues with lighting, costumes, and access to locations. They filmed Christina approaching the camera in a corridor using silhouette and adjustments to lighting. Later scenes in the toilets and lift required changing locations and considering camera angles, lighting, and character costumes and behaviors to achieve the desired eerie and disoriented effects. The final corridor scene was challenging to organize with many extras needing direction to remain in character.

Filming shots 1,2,3: Establishing Shot from corridor
While filming we decided we had to keep the doors open at the end of the corridor to allow enough light through to the camera
and showing only the silhouette of Christina. This gave a good eerie effect as the camera could not capture the detail of her face or
clothing until she got closer to the camera. This allowed the audience to only view her outline as a figure.
It was difficult to get the right amount of light through to the camera as we wanted to keep the space dark and dim but with still
enough light to shoot the scene. Not only this but we had a problem with the cleaners coming in and out of the rooms and turning
on lights which caused a problem with the lighting coming from different areas. To overcome this problem we had to wait a bit
longer before filming until they were finished and also used chairs to hold the doors open at the end of the corridor to allow light to
come in from behind Christina.
We decided to remove the shot of her running into the bathroom because her costume began to fall apart, this scene was also
much longer than we had expected being over 40 seconds making our remaining project filming time of 2 minutes even more
limited.
For this scene we used props such as white face paint to make Christina appear pale and lifeless. This gave the scene more of an
eeriness as she approached towards the camera that we were revealed to her face. For this scene we used the tripod to keep the
camera still and in one place while we were filming, Throughout this we kept the shooting simple until she got closer to the camera
where we then had to zoom in closer.

2. 28/02/12
Filming shots 8, 9: POV shot of group
The original plan to film in the toilets with David, Christina
and the nurse, However this was diverted as there was a
problem with the cleaners shutting down the toilets to
clean making us unable to film this shot.
Because of this we were only left to film the group through
the point of view of Christina as they come towards her.
The only problem we had was the issue of them getting
close enough to the camera without hitting the leg of the
stand making it move and keeping it steady as we filmed.

3. We shot an additional ending which was to be
considered which was in the school corridors with
02/03/12 other characters walking down. This was not too
difficult as we collected some girls who happened
to be staying back after school hours to be in the
Cast (including extras): film just to walk down the corridor but directed
Mario Tofaris them to act as though they were also mentally ill to
Christina Pope make it clearer of the location. This had to be shoot
Rene Kitoko a few times as the cast had to keep in character for
Dele St Pierre
while and as it was at the end of the day it was
difficult for some people to keep focused during
Abiola Balogun
the shooting. This scene consisted of a zoom
Mary-Kate Ah-Foon inwards from the crowded corridor to Christina
Michaela Stweart who is still isolated in a corner due to her mental
Comfort Bother state making it incapable for her to cope. As there
Andriana de Freitas
were many people involved in this scene it was
difficult to keep everything organised and put more
Rebecca O’Brien
pressure on us for time as it was the only moment
Dana Taliba we had with many people to be present all at once.

4. Today we shot the toilet scene but had to move to a
different building as there were complications with the
16/03/12 school to film with boys in the girls toilets even after
school hours. Because of this we had to go to Trinity at
Bowes which was a youth centre as well as a church. Here
we were aloud to shoot with Mario in the girls toilets with
permission before the youth sessions started however
kept us limited on time to complete this scene within the
end of the day. We put on the props for our character
Mario such as the fake blood and the torn white shirt. We
also had our nurse Maria to dress into a nurse outfit for
this scene. This was one of the most difficult scene for us
to shoot as there were many factors which we had to take
into consideration to give a disorientated effect such as
the camera angles and close ups to show the panic in the
scene and the emotion displayed from the distress she
was experiencing.

5. Afterwards, we shot the lift scene were our character
Christina ran in a panic after the toilets scene. Here we had
other extra characters involved such as Rene Kitoko, Dele
16/03/12 St. Pierre, Olamide Alli and Mario Tofaris. These characters
were directed to walk into the lift as Christina ran in
showing the contrasting difference of her behaviour to
others. We shot this scene from a high angle in one corner
of the lift presenting the shot to appear as though it were
through a CCTV camera. Afterwards we would edit this
scene to be in black and white in Adobe Aftereffects to
give it a better effect. We tried to make as many different
angles as we could so we filmed from outside the lift
viewing it coming down and started off showing their legs
and slowly revealing mario who was in the lift but was not
shown on the CCTV filming. This made an even more
dramatic ending as the lift was shown to descend in a slow
motion in preparation for the reveal.
Whilst shooting this we also had to keep making sure that
Christina’s hospital gown kept staying together as it kept
opening from the back in each scene. This would have
effected the filming in terms of consistency of the
characters image.
