Re- Filming of Photo Pan (12th April)

Today we re-filmed the photo panning sequence because the first time we filmed it we realised in editing that we did not film in widescreen and so was the wrong format. This time we filmed in the media office as we thought there was no point in going to Sophie's house again. We never reveal the location in the shots, there are only ever close ups as the camera pans over the pictures, therefore it does not matter where the shots are filmed. The only requirement was the room needed to have enough space to place pin board down. The media office enough space and was near to our classroom. .

This time we placed a black cloth from the drama department underneath the pin board so we could place other photos around it and was a better effect than carpet. Me and Sophie took it turns to film the pan sequence trying to keep our hands steady and taking several breaks, we filmed for a long time so we could select the best parts later. We also shut the blinds in the room, turned the light off and used a film light to create a dull lighting scehem and dark shadow effect on the images, creating a sinister mood and atmosphere. This was something we wanted to do when filmed the scene originally but did not have the equipment or conditions to do so, so I was glad to be able to do it now. Andrew kept making the light flicker during the pan to create tension and give the effect that a candle in the room was blowing and flickering.
