Poster before and after changes

I got feedback that there was some spelling errors and that you colour of the writing doesn't really blend in with the background and it doesn't stand out. We also got told that there was no age rating and that the colour of the poster is a bit bright. 



                               After taking feedback and criticism on the poster, I have made the appropriate changes.

Filming Quality day 1 and 2




























































Equipment used

These are the cameras that we used, the one on the right was
the camera we shot with on the first day, however the quality
 was very low as it wasn't a camera made for filming, so we
 decided to use an actual camera to re-shoot the scenes.

First day filming

On Tuesday the 23rd of February we began the process of filming our thriller piece. We were met with several challenges throughout the day mostly to do with the lighting and camera angles we were gonna use on location. As we were mostly filming outside we had to make sure that the naturalistic lighting in our shots matched the sadistic tone to our film. To overcome this we decided to film later on in the day so we could use the shadows created by the sun on the trees to give our film a spookier feel to it.

The setting of the church gave us the perfect background for our film. We were not given permission to actually shoot inside the church but instead we used the surrounding grave yard with back the  drop of the church. The effective part of this is that the church is not the focal point for the viewer and only is there to heighten the feeling of suspense for the audience. 

First day filming





These 3 photos are just a few that I took on Day 1 of filming. photo 1 - The church we will be using in our film. photo 2 - Sebastian ( editor) and Lawrence ( Main cameraman) and Damita ( Actress ) filming the third scene. photo 3 - The location where the victim will hide.
