Filming and preparing of our opening sequence

We filmed are opening sequence today and all in all it went really well.

This is the cast and the camera woman (I took the picture)

For the role of Saskia (The ghost girl) I got the shower and soaked Jodie's hair as it gives it a better effect, due to it looking darker and more messy and 'dead' like.

I then applied a little bit of make-up (black eye shadow) for the darkness around her eyes which gives her face a more ghostly effect.

We didn't want it to be really bold as it wouldn't look as natural as it does if only a little is applied.

Once we had done this, we got her to put her hair over her face which gives her the mysterious and creepy look.

This image here is the image we tried to create when doing our character Saskia

 

We all agreed that Jodie looked pretty convincing once she had her make-up on, her hair done and her clothes on while crawling from the bed.

Well she was enjoying herself..

For the filming of our sequence, we included a range of shots and angles.

This shot was taken by putting the tripod on top of the bed. At first we though this wouldn't work as it the camera might not of been able to stay still, but we gave it a go and it worked perfectly still. We did this shot to get a high angle shot of Keira as she leaves the room.

We also added an outside shot of Jodie in character. The camera was facing into the mirror in the bedroom while two of the characters were chanting the words into in, and a shot of Jodie outside was able to be seen in the reflection of the mirror. We thought this was a great shot to add in.

 This shot here is when we focused he camera onto Jenni's feet as she turns on the torch on her phone to get some light (This is when the bedroom light go out) Jess then pans the camera, following Jenni's movements with the phone.

This is the shot when we was filming Jodie (Saskia) crawling out from under the bed as she groans.
