Day Three Of Filming

The third day happened to be the most stressful due to the fact that props were very hard to get a hold of especially the fake blood, resulting in us using three different products- ink, red paint, and fake blood from a 'fancy dress' shop. This came our to be very realistic including the paint drying on Shreena's hand to give a cracked effect. Consequently, it led us off schedule and had to use other free periods to film scenes that needed to be done.


One of the last shots was of Lucy (Shreena) wiping her bloody hand on the clear plastic, giving the impression that she was wiping the camera lens. It was the most anticipated yet feared as we only had one take to do it which had to be done with extra precaution. I believe it came out successful and hope the audience will have good feedback towards it.


The final scene we were to shoot was the turning on of the light switch, just before the title of the film is displayed on screen. To do this, we had to search around the school for the perfect light switch, ask for permission from the teachers, and had to continuously wipe the switch down thoroughly after every take. After watching back the few sequences we had done through the video camera, we had finally chosen the right one and finished filming with a great sense of satisfaction.
