Filming (mori)

Last weekend Aaron and I started to film our trailer, we chose to do our most complicated scene, in terms of location, the scene at the beach is the hardest so we decided to get it done. It is the furthest away meaing that in order to do it correctly we needed to do it when we had a lot of time on our hands, therefore we did it on a sunday. This gave us plenty of time to get there to the exact location we yhad previously chosen. There are some difficult shots in this scene because she is on the edge of the cliff so we had to be very careful in making sure she didn't get too close to the edge and risk her safety, this meant we had to trick the camera. To do this we took shots from low angles so that you could see her body and only the ground she is standing on and then the sea in the rest of the shot making it appear as if Lucy our actor is closer to the edge and therefore the sea than she actually is. We also used close ups on the back of her head again witht he sea in the background to get the same effect. Also we used the syncronous sound well in this shot because we were very close to the sea we can hear the sound of the sea below, this is very effective as it makes the audience believe where she is more than she might and it also puts ideas in their head which the images may have already inspired, for instance her jumping off the cliff, this therefore adds a great deal of emotion and suspense tension which slowly builds through the trailer as this scene will be at both the beginning and the end of the trailer. We also used the sun to our advantage on this day, it was shining down fairly brightly but it was quite a clod day this meant lucy's face was lit up and the wind was blowing her hair back away from her face and the sea, all three of these factors helped us to get several great shots and i am confident that they will look effective and moving in the trailer.
