Filming Process Evaluation

As we processed to the filming of the rough cut version we have taken the pictures showing our filming behind the set and evaluate our decisions in order.

Dead girl shown

Very first scene of our movie was showing a dead girl on the floor surrounded with blood. A beginning of this kind already establishes the genre, and provides excitement right from the beginning. It also effectively prepares the viewer for further content. This shot will be long as the scene goes from the extreme close up on the girl's face to the long shot by slowly zooming out. This scene will be interwoven with the flashbacks of the actual killing scene.

Killing scene shown by flashbacks

This scene starts with the view through the window as a girl comes into the room, however, it is not the killer's point of view because he is already inside, as you will find out later in the scene. This view is effective when we want to show how defenceless the victim is and that she is in danger as looking in through the window from the outside give the impression of her being trapped.

The next part of the killing scene was the victim taking a plate from one side of the kitchen to another, this is shown effectively by a panning shot. When she reaches the fridge and opens the door, the killer is already behind it to scare his victim and kill her when she shuts the fridge and sees him.

Victim is stabbed to

death

As the killer appears behind the fridge door it fills the victim with a paralyzing fear. The music will be synchronized with this action . She cannot react in any way as the shock is too huge, she

can

only look at the killer frozen with fright. This short moment is shown by two shot.

Then in order to show the killing process and keep it mysterious and thriller-like we filmed a high angle shot of the floor which effectively shows the contrast of girl's bare feet and the killer wearing smart black shoes. Then we can hear a scream and the girl drops things she held as she sees her killer, namely a glass and some food. We intentionally used glass as it smashes effectively reflecting the girl's situation. View comes back to the floor and then we see drops of blood falling down.

The next shot is the girl laying on the floor surrounded with blood and broken glass. The camera is aiming on her head and shoulders by medium shot and high angle. Then girl is being pulled out of frame by the killer leaving the blood mark behind.

Killer wakes up

We don't know that this is the killer yet as the actions he does seem very ordinary and normal, except the time he wakes up. Later we find out he is the killer as we see his notice board with photographs and newspaper extracts. They say that his girlfriend was killed and abused and he swears revenge against the people responsible for her death.
