Filming

On Thursday we decided to film the a short clip for our trailer, we have chosen to only do one clip as we did not want to travel to both locations on the same day as it would ruin the actresses look.
We decided to film the clip where Scarlet is having her photo taken before entering the home, this will be shown at the start of the trailer so we need to have this clip filmed. We did Shona's hair and make up then went into an empty room to start filming.
At first we found the scene quite difficult to film as Shona was required to have a frozen expression while having her photo taken, we then decided to construct this scene as if she were having a mugshot - so we told her to turn to profile view and then turn to face the camera with an empty expression, we found that this worked perfectly and looked much more convincing, so after a few takes we managed to get the scene perfect, this scene would be a mid shot so that the viewers would be able to analyse the expression on Scarlets face and be able to identify her properly as this shot would be the first time that viewers are able to see Scarlets face, so the use of a mid shot was extremely crucial.
