Test Filming

We thought that it was crucial to carry out some tests so that it will be easier when we start filming. As the darkroom has limited light it is sometimes difficult for the camera to pick up details, resulting in a silhouette-like image. In our test, we experimented with different lighting, primarily using the torches built into our phones, we think that this is the best option as the light provided is not too bright. At 0:41 in the video we were trying to capture the ticking sound of the timer as this is an element that we would like to include in our two minute opening, I think that the camera captures the sound quite well, we are hoping to add the sound during post production. At this point in the video, we also experimented with strobe lighting, we quite like the effect as it is quite uncomfortable and disorientating for the viewer which helps add to the mysterious atmosphere that we want to create. We then practised a few shots to ensure that the lighting was okay. Lastly we tested one of our titles, we are hopefully going to film the full title sequence tomorrow.
