Filming!!!

 Today's THE day. Despite previous issues, and many obstacles, we have successfully begun the filming process.

 We decided to start later in the day, as we are producing a horror film, which typically take place during the night, and often rely on the nighttime atmosphere for the overall ambience of the film. However, when we met up, the sun was still out, do, we decided to instead focus on creating our horror movie shown at the beginning of the film.  As you can see below, I was the unlucky one who was sacrificed for the said film!

 After filming the mini- movie, we decided to create the blood splatter effect seen in the bathroom by our male lead, trying to make it look as realistic as possible. We made sure to place it all carefully to ensure all details were perfect enough to cause the feeling of true horror within our opening, and ultimately, our film.

We then decided to use the light to our advantage, and set up the kitchen for its part in the film, finding the knives and making sure that we lined them all up right, as well as deciding which knife exactly we would have our main character pick up, and use to "kill". We all felt as though small details such as this mattered, since they would ultimately help to tell our story visually, a medium which is important in our film, especially seeing as there is very little spoken throughout the opening.

After we had the set looking its most fabulous, we decided to finally begin the filming process, one which took us well over 3 hours, but with the variety of shots, and scenes which we collected (about 4 minutes total), I am very satisfied with the outcome, and the suspense, as well as tensions felt throughout our scenes. We now will start the next phase of our process: editing! where everything will come together and ultimately make an amazing final product.
