2nd day filming

On the second day filming we were filming on the street and the forest, in my opinion was the hardest part because Blewes was saying Logan (the real name) instead of John, and when he get to say John for some reason someone laughs so we repeated the scenes to many times

I have made a clip of the outtakes:

1st day filming

This is a video of my first day filming, I hope you like it!

Shooting equipment

In a previous post (filming schedule ) I have summaries the filming equipment. Today I'm going to talk more about them, and after thinking about it we have include one more, so we are more prepared.

CAMERA:
We are using a video camera, that the media studies class let to us. This device is going to be the principal one at the time of recording.

MOBILE:
This is the one that we have include, because we have good camera mobiles, like the Iphone6 and SamsungS7 ADGE and it can be a second camera if we need it.
TRIPOD:
We are using a tripod that will help us with the stability of the camera, it can used also in the mobiles.

Risk assesment.

Today I have made the table below about the possible risk that can happen during the process of filming our opening film.

What is at risk?	Who is at risk?	High or Low	How to avoid the risk
Falling of the motor bike	Logan	Low	Don’t drive too fast  Wear a helmet
Falling running in the dark	Logan and Blewes	High	Be careful running
Damaging equipment	Lucia	High	Being careful with the camera

Location

Hello, I'm leaving a few pictures so you have a better understanding of the main idea that we have for our film opening. As it is a horror story we have look at places where there is near something similar or  a forest. We have found next to the Violeta´s beach house in El Puerto a little square that is connected with a forest. We think that it is the better place to film, if possible at evening so the day is getting darker. These three photos are of the real place where we are filming. There is one of the forest, of the square and another one is an aerial shot, take it from google maps of the place.

lighting

Hello! Today I'm going to talk about lighting in general, so that you have already an idea. After that I'm going to focus on the opening film.

Lighting belong to the mise-en-scene section. It refers to how a scene or shot is lighted, and used to create mood and feeling.
Lightning (general)- can be used to highlight important characters.
High Key lighting- A bright and well lit scene with very few shadows. Often used to make a location or character seem friendly, happy, safe.

 Low key lightning- a dimly lit scene with lots of shadows. Often used to make a location or character see shady, untrustworthy, dangerous, unsafe.

Chiaroscuro Lighting- a scene lit with extreme lighting, lots of shadows, some very  bright parts. See the effects of low key lighting. Also used to make a location or character seem very dramatic and unusual.

Lighting of the opening film:
As it is a horror film, the most appropriate is the low key lighting. Because of this the idea is to film between 5p.m and 6 p.m because it is getting darker but with the enough light to see the characters.
Another reason why we have take 4 days filming is that after 7 or 8p.m there is no natural light, and we pretend to make before nightfall.
