Filming Day 2

Today we filmed mostly in an interior setting as we planned on filming mostly dialogue scenes and some dramatic scenes. We decided on filming at 10:00 AM however Sam, the actor who plays Elliot couldnt make it near the beginning of the day due to some issues, but Kayleigh managed to get all the make-up done before Sam arrived. We managed to film till late on in the day so we managed to get a variety of shots including shots which involved it being night time.

I filmed a two shot of Maddie and Elliot arguing about the pills which Maddie is taking. The two shot shows the characters body language and facial language and how they are reacting in the situation they are in. In this shot the setting is in the kitchen because this is a common place in the house where most people spend time and also I used props which were bottles of pills which were placed on top of the worktops.

I filmed a birdseye view shot of Maddie and a police officer having a conversation at the kitchen table. The scene involves the police officer being harsh on Maddie as she is being interrogated and the dialogue that is involved is short and clear which is a convention for trailers also the shouting which is involved helps make this more dramatic and builds up tension for the audience.

For certain scenes which we wanted violence to be an aspect of we used make-up to create fake wounds on the characters faces to make it seem as if they have been involved in an attack. One of Kayleighs roles was to research make-up and she completed the fake wounds on Elliot's face which looked very good and realistic.

After completing the second day of filming, I thought that the acting from our actors was good as the situations which they had to act was done well and also because most of the scenes we filmed on the day involved dialogue it took slightly longer as some mistakes were made but not as many as we thought. Also the dialogue had to be short and clear because it is a trailer therefore we only have a certain amount of time to fit what we want into the trailer.
