We started shooting at Hayley's house, on Redcliffe Street, where we filmed the scene where Megan is outside of Tyler's house. This was filmed by a mid shot, from the side of her and then an over-the-shoulder as she is pulled in. He drags her inside the house, and she is then faced with Megan & Tyler. We filmed the interior scene at a different location, because the other house had a better suited entrance to the house.
We then filmed the scene where Megan is sat on the courseway outside Tyler's house, waiting for Charli and Tyler to reverse in the car to pick her up. The shot we used was a long shot, as the car reverses. This scene, we later found out in editing, was distorted due to the lack of light. This is down to the lack of sophisticated camera's we have the chance to use.
After changing location, now in Selston, we began shooting more scenes inside Wesley's house. We shot the scene after Megan has been dragged in, and the camera had a high amount of red to the shot, so it is possibly ruined and needs to be refilmed. It was a simple mid-shot, and contained all 3 main characters.
Filmed next was Charli on the floor, after falling from the tree and ending up dead. This was a short scene, filmed with a close up shot, which zooms out. We went straight onto Megan and Tyler consoling each other, next, over the death of their friend. Tyler then leaves in the morning and, seeing as these shots are shot in the same area of the house, it made sense to film them all at once. A variety of shots were filmed, to give us the choice in editing. We had a mid shot from the left, and another from the right.
Tyler is then in a dress, and this takes place in the bedroom also, when Megan walks in to find him. These shots were filmed within seconds of each other, for simplicity. A mid shot was used to show Tyler on the bed, in a dress, with Charli in the background as a ghost. This shows that she dressed him like that, as she is giggling at the thought of him in a dress.
In the house where we filmed, the sofa we were using was outside the bedroom we just filmed in, so it made sense to film on the sofa next. Megan and Tyler were on the sofa, as Charli walks in as a ghost. This was filmed with a mid-shot of the couple sat on the sofa, then an over-the-shoulder when Charli walks in, to see what she is doing.
Outside was the location for the next scenes, where we see Megan talking to a cat. This cat is a stuffed toy, because we didnt have a cat 'on tap'. A mid shot shows her talking to the cat, and then we decided to shoot the climbing of the tree.
This part was safe, as Charli didn't actually climb the tree. She reaches up to the cat, that was put in the tree, but is planted firmly on the ground. If she actually did climb, it would be a safety issue, and we would be, probably, breaking filming/safety rules.
In our film its only suggestive that Charli falls, so we used the camera and shook it a bit, to show she fell. In editing we will show Charli climbing the tree, and then the 'shaky' shot, and then her on the floor. This will hopefully be evidence enough that she fell, hard, while still not breaking any rules!
Friday 4th December
Today we went to Kingsway Church, in Kirkby, and filmed the wedding scene. This went fine, except the tape had an error. We shot the wedding, and got to filmed the part where Charli appeared, but unfortunately had technical issues, so will be filming it all again at a later date.
i only see my dreams in everything i touch. i feel their cold hands on everything that i love. cold like some magnificent skyline; out of my reach, but always in my eye line.
