Shoot Day

Overall, the filming of our theatrical trailer went pretty well. The locations were a great success and we managed to get some exciting footage. We managed to get all the footage shot on one day, which was very intense but brilliant.

All the footage came out very well, especially the shot in which we placed the camera in the top corner of the 'torture chamber' where we were shooting and held it up on a tripod so it was completely still, we then shot our lead character struggling in the torture chair and are going to turn it into black and white so it looks as if it is CCTV footage. This well adhere to our thriller genre. Shooting at college was also really successful because we shot in the main office which looked exactly like the type of office our lead character would work in as a journalist with lots of papers and folders everywhere.

There were, however, some minor problems with our footage. For example, the footage of the boss firing our lead character was not completely in focus which meant we had to discard much of the footage. The hand held filming of our lead walking down the stairs of the torture chamber also proved quite difficult because it was a very narrow staircase and keeping the camera at his exact shoulder level was quite difficult.
