There were a lot of shots and scenes I needed to film here with my protagonist therefore this really allowed me to stick to my schedule.
This is the setup I used with the tripod when filming the first scene as I felt that seeing her in bed waking up showed her in her comfort zone before reaching school and being bullied...Please find a compilation of unedited clips from today's filming below...
As you can see, I got a lot filmed today which is imperative to my plotline. For example, I now have the shots needed to edit my first scene together.
I will need to edit the scenes filmed in my bedroom; the low light in this environment resulted in grainy footage. Therefore, I will research how to improve this on Premiere Pro or After Effects and rectify this.
Some of my favourite shots include:
- where my main character is sat in front of the Christmas tree receiving a gift from behind the camera. This puts the audience in the position of somebody close the protagonist, creating more sympathy for her.
- the chiaroscuro used against the light from the front door as this creates a silhouette effect on my main character. This suits the theme of my short film that anybody can be bullied as she appears non-descript before the audience get to know and relate to her.
- where my main character is writing her suicide note. I may super-impose this over a shot of my main character having already committed suicide to represent how it happened. This is also more stylised, increasing the drama and pathos.
Next time, I will be editing my first scene together to see how the shots flow.
