Media Production Work: Filming Process

Date: 24/03/11

After starting to edit our opening of the film we realised that parts of the opening didn't look right and there was a few problems with the story line. So we decided to go back and do some more filming. We went to a location where we hadn't filmed before which was Southern Cemetery. We decided to add a completely different scene to the opening to make it link more with the rest of the story. We filmed Zainab visiting a grave of her friend Sinead. After we filmed there we then went back into Picadilly to redo a few of the shots done previously. The shots that we did were the following-


Close up - This shot was used whilst Zainab was looking at the grave of her friend. We used this shot as we thought it would be good to show the emotions and facial expressions on Zainabs face at this situation. We also did a close up when we went to our second location which was Picadilly, we used the close up shot when the ghost places her hand on Zainabs shoulder.


Over the shoulder- This shot was used whilst Zainab was again looking that the grave. We used this as we was looking over the ghosts shoulder to do the shot, we thought this would make the opening more scary which would be good as the genre we chose to do was a thriller.


Long shot - This shot was used in Picadilly where we filmed Zainab walking and the ghost following shortly behind. This shot was good as it gave the audience a shot of the location used.


These shots are just some examples of the ones we have used throughout the movie opening.
