Shooting Our Film by Lisa Walden

 
Throughout the process of filming we tried our hardest to capture meaningful moments so they could be presented here. We took images on the beach, by the derelict house and in the derelict fairground. Our location choices have specific meanings which foretell the story hidden behind the plot.

Shot One

Shot one is an image taken from Brighton beach where we filmed part of our film. Here we are trying to create the perfect image of the waves as the meet with the stones on the beach. Since we fell in love with the beauty of the beach and how the images turned out on camera we decided to add a vast variety of the beach shots into our film to show the audience just how much our character loves and appreciates the stillness of the beach.

Shot Two
This image shows some footage taken from filming at the derelict house. This location deeply projects his inner emotions and enables the audience to build a connection with his lonely, isolated self. We used shots here to really portray that: we experimented with lighting, distort angles and full-body frames to show his inner feelings illustrated through body movement. Pathetic Fallacy is also relevant here as the horrible wet weather incorporates well with his inner sadness, making the audience feel more aware of how he really feels.

Shot Three
Again we are at the derelict house location, but this time hair and make-up is being dealt with to ensure that the actor portrays his image correctly. We used near to a whole tub of gel and combed it though his hair creating a neatly groomed and sleek look. This allows the audience to understand that he has slightly more of a feminine side, and appearance, for him, plays an important role. With the rain falling heavily we had to continually ensure that it looked the same throughout the various scenes- continuity editing had to be acquired and ensured it was kept the same throughout the scenes.
