Filming Evaluation and Shooting Schedule

Our filming process went reasonably well, throughout the filming we were incredibly well organized and punctual, because of this we were able to create filming goals and tasks and complete them on time. For our film we didn’t need many props because the abandoned warehouse itself was all we needed, the only prop that we provided was the clown mask, all the other props were found in the warehouse, the fact that we had a full warehouse to ourselves was beneficial because there were no disruptive actions caught on camera by the public.

The first day of filming involved us shooting establishing shots of the inside of the warehouse, these shots are to fill the time limit that we were given on the films duration. We took basic shots of the warehouse and ended the day there.

Day two of filming involved us shooting the beginning of the film where Kyle was walking into the warehouse and spraying the wall, this scene took us a while to film because it was a windy day and the wind was distorting the sound and shaking the tripod that we were using, finally we were able to finish the scene when the wind died down later on and this is where we finished filming on day two.

Day three consisted of us filming the scene where Kyle is grabbed by his captor, once again the filming took us a while as we had the same problem as we did on day two of filming. We pushed on and made do with what we filmed, overall the filming came out fairly well and meets the standards of the rest of the film.

On day four we began to shoot the hallway scene where the captor teases Kyle with the light bulb, this creates a suspenseful atmosphere in the film and also for the audience. The filming deemed to be very valuable and productive for the film as we believe that this is the scene where we were able to create the whole psychological thriller feel and compliment the genre. After this day of filming we re-visited the location a few times just to shoot more shots of the location, this was to develop the film further, although the film may not show the all the shots we filmed throughout the filming process due to the fact that it would have over stepped the time limit, however the hard work was put in and is shown through out the whole of the film.
