This is a GIF of Agatha on roller skates |
Today we completed filming the final basement scenes for our film opening, The Unhinging. All members of our film opening group congregated at Agatha' house, our chosen location for the basement scenes.
Below are some videos I recorded of the process of filming the final basement scenes. I uploaded these onto my film openings Instagram. These videos were also uploaded on my film openings Twitter page creating continuity between the films social media websites, resulting in an 'inter web' of The Unhinging related information. This creates a buzz with our film openings followers.
This is a video showing the basement set. It also shows the position of the camera at the bottom of the stairs leading the basement. Just after this we filmed a close up shot of Demi, who plays India, walking up the stairs showing the back of ankles and anxious, hesitant foot steps.
This is a video showing Agatha, who filmed India escaping from the basement, filming on her roller skates. Due to forgetting the filming dolly in Media Studies, we decided to create an equally, efficient and smooth tracking shot of Demi escaping from the basement and through the hall towards the front door to escape, we needed equipment with wheels. I remembered that Agatha had some roller skates and we thought it would equally as successful to allow Agatha to film using her roller skates creating a smooth, tracking shot. A useful point we realised using roller skates, meant that we could hand hold the camera on the tripod whilst picking up pace on the roller skates; successfully quickly finishing filming this shot in a less than 5 takes.
This is a video showing 'behind the scenes' footage of the cast and crew of The Unhinging. I uploaded this video onto Instagram with the hashtags '#behindthescenes' and '#theunhingingmovie'. Instagram is a recently new app involving hashtags (also used by Twitter) that distributors can use on the 'notes page' when feeding information on the Instagram feeds. Using hashtags will niche the audiences findings making the search for my film more accurate - only pictures, promotional post and advertisements will be found under the official hashtag or fan made hashtags such as '#theunhinging' '#theunhingingmovie'. Hashtags can also apply to actors, directors or anyone associated with the film such as '#katebradford' or '#demicollins' - this makes it easier for my target audience to reach information relating to the film.
Above, I have also made a SlideShare of the stages of filming of the final basement scenes with annotation describing the choices we made and reasons why we made them.
