Filming

Today we filmed the scenes that we planned to at the actors house. It was quite challenging getting accustomed to the equipment again, but we made sure to check and double check the mise en scene to see if there was any unnecessary items present in the shots. I felt that we were able to convey meaning better with different camera angles than we were able to in the preliminary task. For example when the protagonist ('Kim') is walking down the stairs to open the front door we did a shot reverse shot of her looking in the mirror fixing her hair. This demonstrates voyeurism; as the camera is admiring her as she admires herself in the mirror and this thus emphasizes the portrayal of a conventional bubbly protagonist that we are trying to achieve.
Overall today was a productive filming day as we manage to achieve all that we planned to. We have scheduled to film again on Friday, in the meantime I am going to upload the 'outtake' pictures onto my website and take pictures of our storyboards ready for the animatic.
