Filming one

We took out a camera and tripod and set off to my house to begin filming. As we had previously cretaed a list of sots we was able to start straight away. The first shot was of tara waking up in her bedroom, we used this to shock the audience, the thriller starts off in complete darkness and silence, all of a sudden a lamp is turned on a tar sits up, this was a really effective way of introducing the thriller, we then continued shooting tara as she made her way around the house, using as many differents shots as possible to ensure when we got to edidting we had alll we needed. My favourite shots of tara included her close up, i found them extremly effective as they were shocking, frightening and strange, i knew they would shock and scare the audience. When shooting rudo, we decided to do same of the same shots as Tara, this was because we wanted to cut from person to person, to show that rudo had been there before. For example i filmed Tara opening the door and then filmed rudo doing the same. when editing this art, i matched them up and cut them really short to create a scene that showed taras hand the rudo's then again and again.  We used this several times to show the audience exactly were the intruder had been, we used a mirror to re val the intruders face, we shot Tara and then rudo in the same place. When editing we flashed from face to face. This was really effective as it creates a tense and shocking atmosphere, it was also a brilliant way for us to introduce the abductor. This is one of y favourite parts in the whole thriller  as its extremely intense and introduces the audience to the abductor, its terrifying. When it was my turn to be shot i got into character immediately as i knew it would show in the film. My first scene was of me in bed, begin woken up by the abductor, i used my facial expressions to show my shock of being woken up and my terror of the abductor. I was also filmed sitting in a dark room tyed to a chair with tape around my mouth, this was to show the audience were i had been taken by he abductor. we showed this part in a flashback to allow the audience to learn more about the thriller. When i was tied up  the only way i could show how i was feeling was through my eyes,  i got into character and felt it worked extremely well.
