Filming 2nd draft

For our second draft we decided to re-shoot the majority as there were multiple changes we had to make. This took up a lot of time, therefore Ashley was unable to make it to the re-shooting at Elk meadows, however he did view the footage before it was edited- giving his input.

Before filming at Elk meadows, we re-shot the footage at school which went rather smoothly. We added extra dialogue as we felt that a discussion between two people would gain more marks that just one persons dialogue alone.


In doing this, the character of 'Joseph' was better established as we were able to present his calmness and other persona when in public. This adds to the creepy and thrilling nature of Joseph. As we did not change too much, we decided not to draw out a storyboard, and instead proceed with filming in order to keep the project moving and allowing more time for re-shoots.

Filming at Elk meadows again was just as beneficial. We decided to shoot in the evening in order to acquire darker lighting to fit the opening threat video which is set in the morning- when it would be dark.


This shoot went very quickly as we understood the set more and had less camera angles and shots to decide on. Most shots were kept the same, we just ensured there was no shaky-cam or bad match-on-action between shots, unlike last time. This greatly improved the look of some shots when reviewing the footage. Unfortunately, as Ashley could not make it, preparing the scene took a little bit longer.
