Day 1 of Main Task Filming

This afternoon the group went out filming for the first time for out main task.
The actors in this film and that were filmed today were Charles Lambourne and Lisa Mitchel and the people that were using the camera were Vidur Bharatram and Gregor Sharp.
The roles that the actors play are Lisa as Charles' girlfriend while he is trying to explain something to her that seems unreal and she doesn't believe him at all.
The main reason that they had gone up to the locations that we had chosen (silent walk and Michael kirk) was because Charles wanted to be somewhere peaceful and quiet when he was explaining the problem.
Our first shot was an upwards tilt of the Michael Kirk to show the presence that the building holds.
Next we had a shot of Lisa and Charles approaching the gates of the building holding hands when Charles hears something unusual in the bushes to his right. While filming this we had to remember the 180 degree rule other wise it would make the shot of the Michael Kirk seem random and out of place.
After this we shot the two of them speaking at the door of the Michael Kirk and Charles storms in to the building because he cannot get through to Lisa; She then follows him in.
Between the shots of him entering the building and the shot of him hearing something we will need to film a shot which is of them approaching the building because that is too big a jump to cut out.
Our plan for this particular shot is to have it in black and white to make it look as if it is someone or something else that is stalking them (the person Charles is seeing).
We took this idea from the film Jaws as in that film you do not actually see the shark that is killing everyone. In our film we thought that this method work if we also used point of view shots of the person/being. By doing this we cut down on the complications of having another actor to play the stalker, props including costumes for the stalker and also having to work the dialogue out for another scene to make having another actor worth having.
I feel it keeps things more simple.
