As we prepare to film, I decided to meet up with the main character of the Final Girl to film some test shots outside, to see how she acted, what kind of shots we could get and what the footage turned out like. I also just wanted some footage to play around with to try some editing.
I asked Lorna to do various things including:
- run away from the camera, looking back, scared
- scream and cry and put her head in her hands
- look at the knife as if she knows what she has to do
- look scared and cry
Here is the edited footage:
To achieve this, I mainly used Bad TV at different levels of roll and 'amount', I also used grayscale, different levels of exposure and brightness and various other simple effects to see what the outcome would be like. I also chopped up the footage into smaller chunks and mixed it up to make it seem faster paced and random.
Next time I will
- film when it is lighter. Unfortunately, we met up too late and so it was almost pitch black when we went to film, with only limited light. I would meet up an hour earlier to make sure we got enough filmed when it was still light enough
- Make sure all props and costume is 100% correct, as I did not notice she was wearing some jewellery which I would prefer she didn't, to fit the character better.
