Filming Day 2 and 3

Filming Day 2 and 3

As a group we had to re-film the final parts of our film opening , because, according to feedback we got during editing, they contained too many close-up shots of the meat, which takes away from the dramatic climax in the non-diegetic soundtrack. Instead we decided to film additional scenes to keep the tension at a maximum. Here, there is a low angle close-up shot of blood being splattered across the window as soon as the climax in the music piece is reached.

The "blood" was a mixture of water and several acrylic paints. We filmed this twice because the first time wasn't a big enough "splat" to cause any shock. With addition to this, the first time round, The "blood" which was contained inside a bottle was seen at the corner of the frame, and it went out of focus.

These scenes were not included in our storyboard, however, we made some changes as to how the ending goes.  Here, the killer's washing the blood off their hands, as if to get rid of the evidence of death/murder. (This is because at the very end of our sequence, the killer is seen closing the door with clean hands)
We shot this scene twice from 2 different angles, a high angle close up from the left and right, in order to avoid a continuity error with the rest of the film opening.

Here, there is a close-up shot of the victim's decapitated head lying on the table. The shot was a pan from a high angle to a low angle, so that the audience will not see that the head is actually severed until the end of that shot. The lighting in the original shot was high-key throughout, but to add more mystery in what happened to the victim until the end,the whole shot was darkened using settings on final cut pro, which left only the back lighting until the end of that shot.
