Filming Process

We have finished all of our filming and have now moved on to the editing process.

We Filmed our shots in the common room and the stair case coming up to the common room. We filmed the shots during our free periods and lunch breaks. 

Filming

We included our reaction shots of individuals and groups. These shots were used to show how the students reacted (shocked) when our main character approached them. 

We used an over the shoulder shot of Mabina looking at her phone. This added some variation t our shot choices and increased anxiety as the audience was  able to clearly see what she was looking at, which was a video of her looking at a video on her mobile with screaming in the background.

We used a low angle tracking shot of Mabinas body, as the camera was unsteady, we made a range of various cuts whilst it was rotating upwards. This gave an interesting effect which correlated well with the slow motion and fast forward effects.

Editing

When we was editing - we managed to put in our titles, this included the name of our film, our production names, all participants names displayed next to their role in the film.

In our 2 main shots -  the establishing shot and Mabina approaching the room shot - we cut these shots creating continuity and the idea that two things are happening at the same time. 

 The audience as able to identify when the main event was going to take place as the sound of a heartbeat began to play and the last few shots were edited as slow motion was increased tension and intensity. We also got rid of the real background sounds of everyone talking and replaced it with the sounds of a empty hall. This sound was quiet, but less harsh than complete silence.
