Yesterday (Tuesday 11th October) we began our filming for our final genre sketch. We drew up a list of shot types that followed along with the initial narrative. I thought this was really beneficial because it steered us in the right direction instead of creating shots in the moment.

What was really successful about yesterday is the mise en scene of the film and the camera angles we were able to form. I was really happy with the location we came about and feel that it fitted the plot perfectly. We were able to get a lot of different view points for this horror which really emphasised the psychological movement of this sketch. It shows many points of view and throws off the audience more for what they expect and reinforce what has lead the characters to this situation.

What I feel that we struggled with is the depth of the sketch. We were able to film all the different scenes that we want to edit together but fear that it may not be enough to create an 8-10 minute horror with constantly engaging the audience. I think that once we have a rough cut of the sketch we will be able to see what is missing and the points that are the least engaging. Since we have done this filming early it will allow us to have time to have to shoot more for the film or re create scenes that are of less effect.

Overall I feel pretty confident that we have met the standards of the Project Brief in terms of what is expected.
