A couple of days ago, we organised an evening in which we would get the first scene done so we can edit and progress onto the next scene, for the day we filmed it, (30th December 2010) it was the perfect weather which we wanted for that scene which was it was extremely foggy and had a sense of mystery. We decided on filming our main murder scene in Mousehold Woods. Unfortunately, with the tress and branches and that we wanted to film it at night, we found it harder to film. So, we improvised and used torches from our phones to have a strong and sinister way of lighting our start to our film noir opening title sequence.
To what we had discussed about our first pitch, we slightly changed it to have an extra character that sees the murder and is also looked on as another suspect of the crime which brings more of a twist into the storyline.
We have kept to simple point of view shots, head over the shoulder shot and shot reverse shot. The reason why is to keep to the main conventions for a film noir but slightly breaking them in smaller, less obvious ways, for example, the femme fatal is the murderer and is killing a man.
More of the filming will take place but as the other two scenes are in the daylight and in a enclosed room, so we have no restriction on where and when the next parts can be filmed. This will mean that me and Emily have to organise what still need to be done and times and places for where of the rest of the filming will be talking place.
