Filming: day/night 2

In the drama room at school; we shot the eyebrow scene. We decided on this as it was funnier than the Slayer and vampire talking; a lot of people may not understand this but we did it anyway because girls can communicate with their eyebrows.

We shot the flashback scenes at a different location; Yasmin's house. The main prop for this scene was a blonde wig to make Paul look like a different character. Over the shoulder shot were used as this would make to scene look more interesting than just two people talking. In the middle of this scene the camera is showing what the Slayer (me) is seeing; as this shows more emotion. When i was spinning round with the camera it looks blurring this shows dizziness as the slayer could be a bit drunk as it is a house party. We shot a close up of Paul character dead and zoomed out slowing for an effect. When my character is crying on the floor the camera is at a downwards view; this is through the vampire's (Yasmin) eyes and shows her power over me as she has just killed my friend.

Later on in the evening; we went back to Paul’s to re-film some of the shots; like when the vampire bites the victim, the first time this shot didn't look right so the second time we added a close up of the bite and it looked much better. We also shot Yasmin's entrance showing her walking up the stairs to show why it takes her so long to walk into the kitchen. We also shot my feet tripping up as without this it was clear why I fell and threw the sword. The last part we shot was the vampires exit. The slayers "bf" is a way of showing her angry for letting the vampire escape again in a comical way.
