FILMING 1


Filming Day 1: 
On the 8th of February our group set out to Alderley Edge to film some of the scenes for our opening sequence. We had our actor, Chayce Smith get into costume and one of the group members did her hair and make up, inspired from the research I did into horror film mise en scene. 
Both myself and Kate hand held a camera and stood at different angles to what we were filming; we decided to not use a tripod to film as we believed that  a hand-held camera would make the scenes in the woods much more realistic with a horror-vibe to it.
I directed this part as I knew that I had creative ideas about the camera angles and shot types which would really make our opening sequence spooky and startling. 
The reason that myself and Kate filmed the scenes at the same time but using two different angles was so we could match the action of the footage easily without having to re-film the footage. 
I did a long shot to capture the main characters body and costume and this came from a pan in order to establish the setting. I also did a close up of a side profile of Chayce's face which we took 3 times. The footage I shot was utilized in editing.

Here is just one clip of our raw footage of filming day 1 which I directed and filmed which shows a long shot of the main character from the side.
