Progress With Filming

Today, we filmed with Matt as well as myself and Lily as we have reached this section of our storyboard. Filming today went really well, it flowed nicely and we did not have too much of an issue with the weather either which was a positive. One aspect that we realized after we had filmed the few shots with Matt is that Lily was not wearing the bag that she had on in the previous footage. This became a disadvantage to us as now the all the footage won't match, however we did only film a couple of shots of Lily from the back, with the bag on so we decided that we are just going to re shoot the couple of scenes of Lily without the bag this time. In a way, this will become an advantage for us as the bag didn't exactly match what we had in mind as we brainstormed a more floral patterned bag to connote vulnerability of our protagonist. 

We are adapting our storyboard a little as previously before, we see the antagonist at more of a hidden angle instead of directly behind Lily, but very far away at a distance from her. Whilst filming this, it was difficult to get the exact angle so we are able to see Matt (the antagonist) but to also see Lily's reaction and face in the shot. At one point we had to ask Matt to move further away so he was able to fit in the shot. Together, we all looked back at the footage we took and we were really happy with the outcome of it. At this point, we really felt like we had achieved what we set out to as the opening sequence is meant to be based on the Thriller genre and this particular scene really sets the mood of the genre. 

Tomorrow, we are going to re shoot the two scenes of Lily without the backpack this time so Matt and Matt have time to edit the sequence together to show our teacher what we have got to far. Together, we are going to discuss our title sequence and how we are going to do it so that can be filmed at the beginning of next week.
