The third day of filming which is the house scene, before we got to the location we came up with some really good ideas. Then once we got to the location we came up with even more ideas, as we were able to see what we was actually filming so we could change and add some shots.
Location: Stockwell, Inside home.
Todays roles:
Me - actor
Usman - camerman/actor
Mark - idea guy/photographer
Samuel - Had college lessons so we didn't want him to miss them so he didn't have to come, but we did fill him in on what was going on and what the final shots were by text and I believe that we have achieved this.
Today we shot me(Nicholas Andrews) aka Lee and Usman Sheikh aka Lucifer in my home and just outside it. We wanted shots that were both slow paced and fast paced. The artificial lighting in my flat made the shots look more real and intimate because we wanted to show that this was my house and that I was somewhat successful as I can own my own flat. We had some real good shots and one not really good shot. One was on the window seal looking down and out of the window showing my walking into my block, this was a really good shot one which we made up on the day. The not so shot was when we tried to film me walking into my block through the intercom camera, it didn't look good as there was black lines going down the screen. There was another horrorish shot where I am sitting on my couch and Lucifer walks down my corridor but I don't see him, I believe that this adds to the suspense or whats going to happen or am i going to see him.
Again like previous days we took alot of shots with alot of different angles, this should help us with editing. This was the last day of filming and now we have to edit.
Here are the pictures from the final location for our teaser trailer:

[FILMING] Day 2 & Pictures
Second day of filming and we was optimistic with this day as the ideas which we came up with prior to filming was really good and the location was somewhat exciting based on the ideas we came up with.
Location: Southside Wandsworth Car Park.
Todays roles:
Me - cameraman/idea guy
Usman - actor/idea guy
Mark - actor/photographer
Samuel - Had college lessons so we didn't want him to miss them so he didn't have to come, but we did fill him in on what was going on and what the final shots were by text.
Today we shot Mark Ahmed aka Tom and Usman Shiekh aka Lucifer in the car park. The shots we was looking for today was more slow paced than day 1, yet it was more menacing and dark themed. We hoped that the natural light from outside the car park and the artificial lighting the car park has would be enough to make the shots not look too dark but not too light and I believe that is what we accomplished today. We played with a hand held shot which was tricky but I reckon that it came out ok and with a bit of editing it will look better than what I saw whilst filming it. I took a classic shot which I have seen many times in thrillers and horrors where a dark shadow walks across the screen and the person can't see them but turns around just was the shadow leaves the screen.
Just like day 1 we took alot of shots with different angles so we can have a variety of shots to work with whilst editing begins.

[FILMING] Day 1 & Pictures
This was the first day of filming, we was unsure if it would work out as there was some rain before we went out, and once we got to the location it started spitting but it didn't affect the filming.
Film Location : Tooting; Chetwode Rd, Holdemesse Rd and Trinity Cresent.
Today we film shots with Samuel Mante aka Jason and Usman Sheikh aka Lucifer. We had 2 ideas one was a slow paced stalker theme and other other was a fast paced supernatural ghostlike theme, luckily enough we was able to shot both of the ideas with alot of shots and angles. We wanted alot of shots from different angles as it would gives us a variety of shots to work with once we start to edit. As it was raining before we filmed I believe that it added to the footage and fits in well with our genre, during the filming it started to spit a little which you can just slightly see in the camera but it didn't affect us at all, infact it actually added that extra something to the shots that we needed.
We came to the conclusion that on each filming day we all would have our jobs to do depending who is there.
For today the roles were as such:
Me - cameraman/ideas guy
Usman - actor/ideas guy
Samual - actor
Mark - photographer/cameraman
We believe that assigning roles for each day will make us more organised and efficient, which will make the filming easier and less stressfull.
