Our second day of filming started with a point of view shot of the main antagonist running across the road to the girls’ house. Luckily the weather was very similar to the day before so we continued to film the rest of the outdoor shots, including the scene where the girl is put into the boot of a car. We filmed the antagonist getting into the car and pulling away from several angles and distances so we have a variety of shots to choose from.
We also had to film continuity shots of Francesca taking her pill and making a cup of tea. Before this the antagonist was filmed changing her pills and stealing her car keys. All of these shots had to be filmed a number of times because the actions were hard to do smoothly on camera. One shot which we are very pleased with is the one of Francesca brushing her hair in the mirror, she moves over to place the hairbrush on the side and her kidnapper can be seen in the reflection. A continuity shot from in front of Francesca shows her turning round and the antagonist is gone.
One problem that we faced was that in one of the mirrors, the cameraman could be seen in the corner. We didn’t realise this until we began editing and thought we would have to re-shoot. In the end we found a solution, to crop the clip so one edge was slightly cut out. This could have made the screen pixelate or made actors and objects seem bigger than normal, but because the error was only a small one, it looks no different to normal.
On the whole the days filming went really well, we got more shots than we needed and ended up with over half an hour of footage to work with, so scenes can be added and deleted if needs be. Everyone came up with a few ideas to film at different angles and to create whole new scenes altogether.
