During Day 1 of filming to improve our narrative we faced numerous problems which meant that we were unable to use these clips for our thriller opening. Firstly, due to the arrangement of the room it meant that our character's positioning was restricted. This made finding the correct angle when using our camera extremely difficult, as a result when looking back on our footage we realised that the 'over the shoulder' shots where not suitable to use. On various occasions our characters on screen had their heads cut off within the frame which meant it took away from the image displayed on screen. In addition, we noticed that we accidentally left a piece of paper with characters line written on within the shot. This is incredibly distracting for the audience as it doesn't make the scenario appear realistic.
On Day 2 of filming we discussed factors that went wrong and how we would change this as we continue. We decided to change the positioning of our main characters seating as we needed to improve our 'over the shoulder' shots. This happened to be a success, shown above, both characters heads are in full shot and not cut off within the frame. As well as this, we decided to add makeup to our main character. During a group discussion we decided it would be better to add slight bruising under her eye to illustrate to the viewer that she has been recovering from her trauma. This will relate to the idea that she is attending to counselling sessions.
