25th January - Blog update

Thankfully over the last two periods, we had a double lesson of filming which is what we have needed since the beginning of the project to enhance the amount we filmed. Through this double period we filmed a whole scene, being the torture scene and we also managed to film other shots within the hostage scene. For continuity reasons we had to film many of the shots on the same day otherwise we would face problems with sustaining the same make-up and costumes the next time we filmed.

We added certain media techniques including a match on action where you see a torture weapon hit the character and then you see his reaction afterwards. This is made cinematic with a quick zoom showing the results of this attack with blood upon the wall. It links to the fast paced the attack which juxtaposes the rest of the scene whereby it is slow, which slows the plot down to reach the climax of the attack keeping the audience in suspense. 

The next lesson we have, we hope to finish off some more shots of the hostage scene, and place in some dialogue over the top through the editing process. We need to make sure we do not fall behind on one or the other parts of filming otherwise we will suffer when it comes down to handing in our final film.
