17th April Update on filming (explains setting changes)


17th April Update on filming (explains setting changes) (video clip to accompany)

Today we got our two characters ivy and Alexia, Becky and Laura to come round to my house to film us all getting ready for the party. We used Anastazja to play the part of Ezra. We made many changes to the script today by changing characters around and the lines everyone says. Certain lines had to change on the basis of props available as well, for example we used Malibu and pineapple instead of vodka and coke. This is the scene in which Rose and Maddie continue their walk home from school and get ready for the party at Maddie’s house with their other friend coming over to join. We changed our setting for this as well as the walking home and entering the house was originally going to be shot at Laurens house (Maddie) but instead was shot it at my house (Rose) but in the film it’s still Maddie’s house. The inside of the party was supposed to be shot at my house posing as Roses house and then the outside at Laurens (Maddie) posing as the outside of my house (rose) and still looking like Roses  house, instead we filmed the whole party at Laurens (Maddie’s) but in the film it will be known as Rose’s house. The bathroom scene at the beginning and end was supposed to be filmed in my bathroom leading out of my room but because we filmed us getting ready there we could not have Rose washing her hands in the same place as she is supposed to be at her own house after the party and not back in Maddie’s house. So instead we used my other bathroom in my house which in the film is Maddie’s house but posed it as Roses house for the film. Running outside was also shot by my house, when it was going to be shot in the Chippenham layby but we could not get to that location. But being by my house which in the film is posing as Maddie’s house it’s supposed to look like outside of Laurens house (Maddie) whose house in the film is mine (Rose). The first scene within school was filmed originally. So as you can see it has all become very confusing but we understand the changes and think it flows to the audience and it is clear that they are at school, go to Maddie’s to get ready, then Roses house for the party and outside her house when the worst begins. We did notice that I (Rose) open the door to Maddie’s house and she leaves the door open as we enter, this minor mistake doesn’t notice too much but we fear it may confuse the audience a little.
Filming with our friends was easy as they are also media students in our year that attend our school so they knew the brief we had to meet and being our friends they knew our thriller. When filming the outside part leading up to the door it was very successful and was filmed fairly quickly with only a couple of bloopers and mistakes. When inside the first part of filming of me and Lauren in the kitchen and up the stairs went smoothly but as soon as the picture had to fall out of my bag it took a very long time to accomplish it to fall out correctly and then zoom in, in the end we used two separate shots of the picture falling out of my bag and then the camera onto of the shot so the audience can clearly see it. The dialogue went considerably smoothly as well, it wasn’t until the end where we all come together it took longer but we managed to get all the clips we needed.
