VLOG: day four

On this day our group decided that we needed to re-film the lair scene because we did not have enough camera angles to be able to pick the best ones for our final piece. So I began setting up the lair while they filmed the final lift scene. Fortunately in the filming before we only filmed the reaction of the victims as they came down the stairs, and so we did not get any of the posters in it. This means that we could put the posters in any random order and it would still work out okay, we wouldn't need to re-film any more reaction scenes.

Here we were setting up how we were going to film the close up of the young girl playing with the jack in the box. 

We had to take the camera off of the tripod because it would not fit in the space between the wall on the right and where we had placed the girl. It also did not help us achieve the camera angle we wanted and so we had to take it off and film it in our hands. Chloe has the most stable hands out of everyone so we had her do it. By doing this it means we need to stabilise the footage later on in the editing stages. 

We then instructed the young girl to lift her head when she turned because otherwise it just looked like a huge ball of hair and it wasn't clear that she was turning her head. By doing this it made it a lot clearer which way she was turning because you could see the white face paint. 

Once we had filmed this stage we had to change the angle of the camera so that we could get the reaction of the two victims within the shot. Again we could not fit the tripod behind the young girl and so we had to have chloe sit and hold the camera again. We also had to make sure that we were not cutting the little girls head off in the shot because we had done this a few times previously.
