Final Project: Graveyard Filming Blog

Now that we had our opening done, it was time to film the main intro. We planned on filming this in a graveyard. We found a local yard to film this in, however. We felt that it may be disrespectful to film in a graveyard. The scene we left off with was the party scene. This scene ended with the two characters getting into a mysterious person's car. The car would then lead off into the dark field. We used the same setup as last time: Owen was filming, and Jimmy, Trent and I were acting.

The scene we filmed today would mark the end of the credits. We are going to implement the credits into the first scene, the party scene. Keep in mind, everything that we filmed was in the dark of the night. We did not want to use lighting because it would take away the effect of suspense and tension. These two are the main elements that make a thriller.

Throughout the filming process, we tried to use as many different camera angles as we cou
ld. We made sure to us e over the shoulder shots, low angles, and close ups. These would help build suspense. To be completely honest, we created the dialogue right on the spot. We knew this scene would not require much dialogue, so we thought it was best to just make up the dialogue as we went on. Hopefully, our film will not require any reshoots. The editing process will be done as a group effort. We also used the same camera that we did on the first and second filming attempts.
