Production Diary 3/12/14

This was our final shoot. We aimed to get the majority of the scenes we had left to do today, yet we managed to film all of them, plus some extra shots we came up with spontaneously. The actors we had present were Rosie, Layla, Eleni, and Eleni's mom.

We filmed at two different locations, Eleni's house, and Gabby's house. All of Rosie's scenes were at Gabby's house. Again, we had to do Layla's make up, to transform her into her dark, sinister character.

Some good shots were filmed, and new ideas were put forward regarding different scenes whilst we were filming. We expanded our creative aspects and improved the scenes from the base ideas.


We filmed an over the shoulder shot of Layla looking down on Rosie walking across the hall, this was effective in creating a unnerving atmosphere in which Rosie feels as though she is being watched, and haunted by her dreams. 

Eleni is only 8 years old, which made her shy nature understandable. This could have potentially caused us some problems regarding time management if her mom wasn't there to make her feel comfortable. Her mom also played a role in this scene, kissing Eleni on the head as she goes to sleep. This scene went surprisingly well, and took just under half an hour to film.

Our time management this time wasn't as efficient as it may have previously been. After completing Rosie's scenes we had a whole hour to wait until we could film Eleni's scene, this is because she was attending a Christmas fair at her school. In this time, we had nothing to do, and it meant we finished an hour later. To avoid complications such as this we should have kept in good contact with Eleni's mom, and started filming at a later time to ensure we aren't wasting time.
