First Film Draft.

This was the first draft of our film, which we showed to the class today, went down rather well and our feelings of un-comfortable and un-ease were communicated well throughout it, this is what people mostly commented on. Also the idea of using point of view through the camera was enjoyed.

Stop-motion.

Tonight we put together some bits of the film through using stop motion, we took the bit of the guy unconsciously being put into the cupboard, which then leads to the dogs surrounding him.

But also photographed bits we wanted to flicker into the film to give the feeling we are trying to communicate the whole way through which is this feeling of uncomfortableness and disorientation.

We made sure the camera was up high and looking down for the cupboard bit as it looks more like you are witnessing this poor guy, and makes you feel uncertain and a bit weird.

We also tried out these shaped which you can fit into and extended lense of the camera to block out all image except what you can see through the shape, they worked amazingly! Make it look even more surrealist and really special...it disorientates you.

'Keyhole'

This shows the stopmotion of the cupboard door opening, but through a keyhole, making the audience feel uncomfortable and wonder what it is?

'Twins'

These are the stop-motion photos we took through a circular shaped frame on the camera, the one person morphs into twins...

Filming, the drag.

Today we filmed the pilots point of view shot, when he is being dragged away from the woman and seems to be dragged to another world. Below are a couple of the shots to show example...

Filming it was pretty fun actually as I was dragged by feet at a high speed along the corridor with a camera strapped to my chest!

The camera was amazing, tiny and captured a great picture, it was HD as well so was an expensive camera! It was strapped to my chest the first time, but I couldn't hold my shoulders high enough when I was being dragged and so Rachel had to run back with me holding the camera.
