Filming

As planned, we were supposed to go to Alex's house to film in his basement on Friday 11th of March but unfortunately he was not available on this day so we decided that to make things easier for ourselves that we would change the location and film at Ben's house in his garage. As we were filming in the daytime we had a few problems with the lighting as the garage was not as dark as we needed it to be. We managed to come across these small problems by using bin bags to cover up the places where the light was coming through. We used a small lamp so that we could get some light into the room and this light managed to create some good shadows which also adds to the eerie effect.

The next shot was done outside of Ben's house which was done as an establishing shot of the house. Ben stood outside of the house with the camera to film whilst I stood inside and dimmed the lights. We wanted this shot because it makes it seem as though somebody is watching from outside and it also lets the audience know that there is somebody inside the house too. By filming this shot it lets the audience know that the person inside of the house is more than likely in trouble or that there is somebody in the house that isn't supposed to be.


We filmed some shots on the platform of the train station so that we could get a shot of 'The Watcher' on one side of the train and then when a train went past we made sure that he had disappeared which created a shot which confused people as they did not know where he had gone so fast. 


When we shot in Ben's garage we used my hands to create the shots with the gloves. This was an easy shot that Ben had to shoot as my hands were already being used. This shot was used to create tension for the audience because when the leather gloves are placed on it gives the impression that a crime is going to happen because they don't want their fingerprints to be placed onto whatever they are damaging or harming.
