Filming Schedule - Miss Georgiou

A filming schedule is important to have because it helps the group and I plan out what we want to film, it is also very convenient to have because it helps us to be prepared before we start to shoot anything and it keeps us up to date on what shot we have done and what we have to do next. This helps save us a lot of time because we will not be experimenting a lot with all the camera techniques as we will already have them written down. We had followed the filming schedule for the most part of it, until we had to shoot the scene in the dark room. What we did is that we experimented with many different camera angles and movements until we got the right technique, this was the panning shot of when the antagonist walks into the dark room. We thought that the addition of this would make the opening sequence more dramatic and exciting. The reason we decided to add this in is because when we started to film it from the schedule we saw that it got dragged on and started to become boring, thus we added the camera moment, panning to make things shorter and more exciting. Another shot we had included is a close up of the antagonists clown mask, this was because only after we started editing the footage, we saw that the scene wasn't quite conventional and it was hard for the audience to see the mask. Therefore we decided to add a close up of the antagonist looking through the door, we hope that this scares the audience and helps them to build a negative relationship with the antagonist because they fear him. We had followed the schedule mostly, however, we thought we should change a few shots because we thought they didn't portray the thriller conventions. These shots, for example are the shots we took in the classroom, we had to retake them because our female victim was wearing different clothes in the previous shots we had taken the day before. Another scene we had to retake was the hallway scene, this is because our female victim had her hair tied up in the scene of her walking into school, but when she opens her locker he hair is down. We needed to change this because if the audience were to notice this it would make the scene look weird and unprofessional.
An additional scene we had chosen to shoot is the scene of the female victim walking into the school. We decided to shoot this scene because we thought it would make more sense, rather then her already being in the school. This would not have made sense because the audience would not have known where the female victim was, thus we created a previous scene of her walking into into the school.
