Today we filmed from 3:30pm - 5:30pm and remembered to book all the equipment we needed (DLSR 4) along with the props (black dress, white cardigan, picture of boy and small box).
To begin with we re-shot the girl opening the box with a picture of the boy in it as we found it difficult to match the lighting with other shots in editing. The reason for this is the original shot was shot at Elsie's house in natural lighting while the shots following it were shot at my house in which we used un-natural lighting.
Next we moved on to redoing the shot of Laura throwing the picture as we found that the original shot was quite blurry as it was too fast, so it was not noticeable and did not have the impact that we wanted when adding it to the music. To fix this problem we decided to do a variety of shots from a close up of Laura's hand before she throws the picture and a long shot of when it is in the air.
Finally, we re-shot the close up of my face for the beginning shot at the sleepover, as when comparing it to the shots of Elsie and Laura we found the lighting was different because we had a much darker background while our faces were lit up. Meanwhile, my original shot was lighter with it being more fully lit due to other lighting than the torch such as the lamps in room. To fix this problem we made sure that we got rid of some of the lamp lighting we used before filming so it did not interfere with how bright the shot was overall. We also tried to put the torch I was holding in a variety of places to see where it would look best in showing the contrast between the bright light and dark background to create a spooky atmosphere.
Here are some screenshots of what we filmed:
