Today we did our final scene and we finally end shooting, we finished before we thought but we had to stay some days later at school to film. But we finished in the correct time so that we will also have enough time to edit and see if we are missing any important scene or if we have to reshoot anything which doesn’t links correctly with the chase.
My work as actress I think it was quite simple as most of the time I escaped from Deborah and I didn’t need to show much body language or facial expressions, so it was quite simple. By the other hand, the job of lighting and camera where much complex as we used different tones and types of light for the different scenarios we used, for example in the hallway we used a really strong white light as we had to emphasize the change of environment and the contrast from passing from the black room to this bright hallway, which result really good indeed. Also we used natural lighting such in the pool scenario and in the field, as they were outside settings it was difficult to try and put a type of lighting in such a wide area due that our equipment of lighting is for small areas.
The camera movements were not as complicated as we thought they were going to be, we used a tripod most of the time and when we filmed without one we always used a really steady point of view. We really had simple camera movements but the difficult part was practicing and noticing the correct movement for the scene and to try and think of the audience point of view so that the film catches their attention.
Next activity session we will start selecting all the videos we are going to use for each scene and then we will start editing and we also have to start thinking about the non diagetic and diagetic sounds we are going to use and make sure the timing follows the visual part as well. I think the editing will be the most challenging part of the whole project and probably the most interesting as it is the time when all the mistakes are fixed.
The mistake we made in the project was that Deborah´s uniform changes through the movie as one day she confused of uniform and we didn’t had time to shoot the scene in another day, we will try to make it the less noticeable possible but it will be very difficult as we can’t cut and shots because all of them are really important for the film.
