Filming In The Flat

Filming

On arrival to the flat we decided to first sit down and discuss exactly what shots were needed and what to do first.

After this we arranged the sitting room of the flat so we would be able to get a shot where the male character was aligned with the television to be able to see that he was watching television. After arranging the set and making it resemble a male's apartment we were ready to start filming.

Our first shot was the murder scene of the main male character. We considered the angles of the shot and placed the victim under a high angle shot to signify weakness and the domination of the female lead. We placed a few props around like cigarettes, dirty glasses and alcohol to emphasise the typical male living environment. After this we filmed the walking in of the murderer and then proceeded to the second flashback scene.

While filming in the flat again we did come across some difficulties with lighting, after much thought we did amend the problem by making a makeshift light pole with a reflector to emphasise light. Another problem was safety; as we were using a knife as the main prop we had to ensure that we used the blunt side of the knife in the murderer scene.
