Evaluation of filming

Today we met at 5pm to film a few extra shots that we felt needed to be re-done and also a few more shots we decided to add, just in case. We started by setting up the set just as before, the mattress, the restraints and the pallets. We also had to set up the light exactly the same, luckily, the bucket we used to place the light on was in the exact same place so there should be no continuity errors.

We also decided to use make up on the arms this time. We added a dark foundation and purple eye shadow for a bruising effect and also a little fake blood as this is a common convention for a horror film. We decided not to re-shoot everything as the light makes the makeup seem a lot lighter and we thought that it wouldn't be seen through much of the 'fast' possession shots. Instead, we refilmed some of the close ups just in case the arms could be seen. 

We tried a variety of shots, some which can be seen below:

This first shot was a kind of tracking shot as it moves up Neve's body, which we used before but wanted to re-shoot to include the new make-up.

This was a new shot from a high angle looking down, which we didn't film before. We just thought it would be good to have more angles of the possession and this was one we hadn't experimented with before.

Evaluation:

Shooting today was successful as we got the re-shoots that what we wanted to do done, with added make-up, as seen above. We managed to do this promptly with no fuss which meant we kept to the schedule and finished on time. We also filmed a few extra sequences which we may or may not use in our opening, depending on the length. We also discussed using fast straight cut edits between different angles of possession, which is something we will look at when it comes to shooting. We were fairly good when it came to mise en scene this week as we managed to set up almost identically to how it was the first time we met to film. Next time we will shoot the beginning scene with the exorcist as Mia's dad was at work this time. Also we would still like to do some shots of objects moving so that is something we can look to do on our next day of shooting.
